Divorce Granted but lawyer not giving Divorce Certificate and Decree
22-Jun-2023 (In Divorce Law)
Hi,
Me and my ex-husband had filed for Divorce on March 2019. The Divorce was accepted and granted on November 2019. However, the lawyer was my ex-husbands side as we did not feel that we needed any separate lawyer. In Feb 2020, the lawyer asked me to pay 1500/- separately to get a copy of Divorce Decree and Certificate which I had done immediately. Now it has been 7 months and the lawyer keeps telling me that wait for another 2-3 months as because of Covid situation he has not received the same from court.
Could you please help me to know whether the lawyer is lying or is it true. And if this is true for how long should I wait to get the decree and Certificate.
Thanks in advance.
Dead queriest, as per your query you have mentioned that you have not received your decree of divorce yet, yes it is true it takes time for the same, since the order was passed in Nov 2019. you can keep the follow up by visiting the concerned court staff for the same.
Yes you will get the certified copies even now as because of covid19 situation courts were close down but now from 8th of june courts are resumed. Even if you yourself will apply you will get the same in eight to ten days.
