Hi all,

I've received a letter from the county court stating the following:

Before district judge...sitting at...on 15/9/11.

Upon considering the petitioner's amended petition:

EX PARTE

IT IS ORDERED THAT

1. The courts dispenses wuth service of the amended Petition.

2. Upon filing of the appropriate affidavit and application of the Petitioner may apply for the district judge's certificate to Decree Nisi.


This is all very confusing, I had to re-submit my original application to divorce AFTER my ex-wife had replied to it, and i had sent off the form to apply for the decree nisi. The original form came back to amended because apparently i ticked the wrong boxes, so i spoke to the court, amended what was necessay, but "amended petition" where required and wrote a cover note for it. Now i have received this letter and don't know what to do now?

Does this mean that i need to start all over again? i could really do with some advice but can't afford to speak to a solicitor. This has been going on form 3 months now, and it's really bringing me down. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Steve
