ABSTRACT
Application for decree absolute after 12 months have elapsed Where this is the case, the application (form M8) must be filed along with a letter to the judge explaining the delay, stating whether the parties have lived together since decree nisi and, if so, where and for how long. The letter must also state whether the wife has given birth to any child since decree nisi, and whether it is alleged that the child is the husband’s. In most cases, a letter will suffice, but the district judge is at liberty to order further affidavit evidence from the parties.
