What are the 3 main stages of divorce?

The three main stages of a divorce (not including financial matters) are:

The first stage is to file a divorce application, either individually or jointly with the court. This can be done online or by post.

After the respondent has acknowledged the divorce application, the applicant can move to the second stage by applying for the Conditional Order. This happens roughly 23 to 25 weeks after the start of the divorce.

The third and final stage is six weeks and one day after the pronouncement of the Conditional Order, when it is possible to end the marriage by applying for the Final Order.
