Reply to a divorce application
If you disagree with the divorce
You can only disagree with the divorce if you have a legal reason. For example, if you live abroad and the court in England or Wales does not have power over your case.
You cannot disagree because you do not want a divorce.
After you have replied saying you disagree, you must also fill in an ‘answer to a divorce application’ form to explain why you disagree.
Send it back to the address on the form within 21 days of getting your notice of proceedings.
You’ll have to pay £234 and may have to go to court.
You can apply for help paying court fees.
