What happens if my husband files for divorce and I do not respond to?
Uk Depends on grounds for petition, but the petitioner must prove service. A signed for letter, an email saying ha ha, not signing, or an affidavit from a process server should suffice. My daughter-in-law posted a comment on FB about how her wedding anniversary present from my son was his divorce petition - he had to wait till their first anniversary under U.K. Law to issue a petition for her adultery. The Judge would not accept this as proof of service but this was over 11 years ago. If it is on any ground other than 2 years separation with consent and the petitioner can prove service, then the Respondent has 7 days to file a response, Once this period has sexpired the Petitioner should apply for the Nisi to be granted due to the Respondents failure to respond and provide proof of service My son no longer has any idea where his wife is, and last time she contacted him he told her she knew his address and it was down to her to issue it, he wasnt wasting his money divorcing her especially as he has no address for her. She may even be dead for all he cares. She was morbidly obese when they married, and her boyfriend (the adultery) was a heroin addict.
