What happens if the Respondent spouse fails to reply?
The Respondent spouse has three choices. They can send you a letter agreeing to the divorce no contest in which case the application and remaining procedures take a certain route. They can ignore the documentation in which case you can proceed but you will need to serve a 14 Day Warning Notice, Affidavit of Service of such notice and, depending on any subsequent response, further affidavits. Or your spouse can contest the divorce on particular grounds, in which case they will be required to serve on you similar documentation above outlining the grounds under which they are contesting.
