What happens if I ignore an application for divorce?

If you decide to ignore a divorce application, the divorce will still proceed, but will take slightly longer.

Once the time limit to respond has expired, a Court bailiff or a Process Server will personally serve you with a further set of divorce papers. Personal service can take place at home, work, or at any other public or private location.

Once a further set of divorce papers have been handed to you personally, the divorce will proceed without your further involvement.
