pricey MRS MACAULAY,
i need to understand how i might find out if i am divorced and the way to get a replica of the divorce papers. My ex-husband utilized for the divorce in Jamaica seeing that this is the place we received married and where he lives. He won't send me a copy of the paperwork.
How do I discover for certain?
in case your husband filed a petition for the dissolution of your marriage in Jamaica, the checklist and file of the complaints can be within the Supreme court Registry, in the Supreme court docket constructing situated at King road, Kingston. As you need to ascertain even if your husband's purported divorce complaints have been actually filed and achieved, you're going to should both go to the Supreme court docket Registry in adult, or have someone go there for you and observe for and pay the detailed price for a search to be performed for the lawsuits and, if discovered, to apply for and pay the prescribed fee for a licensed copy of the decree absolute. If a private attendance on the Registry is not feasible that you can arrange, as it seems that you are overseas, you can continue a legal professional to do the applications for the hunt to be conducted and for a licensed reproduction of the decree bound to be organized and pay the prescribed fees to your behalf and to collect an d send it off to you. you're going to have to pay costs to the attorney, if you make a decision to use that capacity.
otherwise you can write to the Registrar of the Supreme court to support you with your search and the difficulty to you of a certified reproduction of the decree absolute, if it had indeed been granted. remember to ask what the entire can charge would be for these to be finished and for the reproduction to be despatched to you by using the most secure potential. You ought to additionally ask her through what skill make sure to send the prices to her. you then must do so as promptly as viable.
I anticipate that you simply were served with a copy of your husband's divorce petition and different assisting documents. i am hoping you nevertheless have a copy of it as a result of, in case you do, you'll make the quest within the registry of the Supreme courtroom a great deal less difficult as a result of on it might be the "claim number" on the properly left hand facet of the first web page. You ought to use or ship this number and your husband's correct identify and yours as they were entered for your marriage certificate, so that the hunt can be effected efficiently and inside a reasonable length of time. You see, the declare number identifies your husband's file, the folio it's in, and the 12 months it changed into filed. No different petitioner however he would have that quantity.
in case you will not have a duplicate of the petition and aiding files and therefore don't know the claim quantity, then the quest you have to follow to have completed would take a longer time, because it will rely best for your names and the time/year(s) you agree with he filed his divorce petition.
If the outcomes of the hunt you practice for is that there is no list of any divorce court cases of your husband in the facts on the Registry, then which you could be certain that your husband's petition was no longer filed and no proceedings adopted thereon and no decrees nisi and absolute were said. you then will should decide whether or not you will file your personal petition on your marriage to be dissolved.
If the hunt finds your husband's divorce proceedings and he did not, truly, observe for and procure a decree absolute, that you can continue felony services to ascertain no matter if you could follow for the decree to be made absolute or not as you hope.
If the hunt is successful, then with a certified replica of the decree absolute you can prove that your status modified from a married lady to that of a divorced girl.
the search within the Supreme court Registry is the handiest method so you might discover and make sure whether your husband did indeed petition for and received a decree absolute which terminated your marriage.
i am hoping I actually have clarified easy methods to ascertain the actual reality of your marriage status.
all the choicest.
