Decree absolute fee after 10 years

EC_EC_EC

Hello,

I got decree nisi in 2010 but could not proceed to absolute due to financial matters. These have now been resolved.
According to form D187:
If you filed your original application for divorce, nullity or civil partnership dissolution before 1st July 2013 then you will have to pay a court fee.

I then looked at EX50 for family court fees but there is nothing listed there specifically for decree absolute.
Does anybody know what the fee is?
Tried to call the court but an hour later there is still noone answering.

Thanks

So far as I recall the last fee was £50 - I would either send it with no fee (as the court will then return it but should then tell you how much they want) or with £50.  

Where have you e-mailed? All paper divorced are now dealt with via Bury St Edmunds although if you haven't has anything happen for a long time you may need to send the application to the court which was dealing wit the divorce and they will transfer it. Souble chec that that court is still open, a lot of courts have been closed since 2010.

Given the 10 years delay they may list it for short hearing as you will be asking for the order to be granted out of time (you are only entitled to t as of right within 12 months of the nisi, although unless you reconciled with your ex there should be no difficulty with it being granted to you even after the delay,although you will need to give an explanation. 

Alternatively you can go the https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ website and trawl through the various amendments to the relevant statutory instrument to find the last time it was specifically mentioned.
