The Divorce Hearing

The Divorce Hearing

When parties are agreed, documentation completed and filed and all procedures have been followed correctly, the final stage is the Divorce Hearing.

If there are no children under 18 years, neither party needs to attend Court for the hearing. A Registrar in Chambers will determine the divorce.  Once granted, Certificates of Divorce are issued to both people.

If there are children under 18 years it is required that the applicant and their chosen legal representation attend. Most often the respondent is not required to attend. This process usually takes only about 10-15 mins. Documentation is read, and any changes concerning the children need to be made known at this hearing. Meeting the registrar’s satisfaction, Certificates of Divorce are issued to both people.
