The acknowledgement of service?

Hi All,

As I'm petitioning my partner for a divorce on the grounds of five years separation without consent. (I do have the address of where she lives). If she was to not return the acknowledgement of service paperwork, would I then have to get another copy personally served by a court bailiff or could because I don't need her consent, can I carry on with the divorce and apply for the decree nisi?

Regards

You would have to prove service no matter what. Simply posting something to someone is not proof of service. Having said that, speculating about what may or may not happen is rarely useful. There are no end to 'what ifs'.

Thank you very much David for our rapid response.
