motion for nonsuit in divorce?

A non-suit means that a judgment can be entered against that defendant (that is, the plaintiff is granted the divorce) because that person didn't respond (file an answer) in the proscribed period (21 days). \n\nDismissed without prejudice, I believe means that prior action didn't have any decisions against the defendant that would need to be taken into account in future actions. Future actions would probably have to do with distribution of marital assets or debts, property, any custody relations for children, etc. If the defendant is not involved in these issues, they'll be decided in favor of the plaintiff.\n\nThis is information found by searching public sites.

If I knew the jurisidiction of your hearing, I could give you a better response.  What is the state in which the motion was filed and in what state does your ex-wife reside?\n\nWas the letter a cover letter to go with a "verified Petition to Modify Support?"  If so, it was the Petition that was allowed.  The letter is typically removed by the Clerk of the Court.  Letters directly to a judge, without notice and a copy to the other side, is ex parte communication and is not allowed.\n\nYou cannot "cite" her for contempt, however, you can file a Motion for Rule to Show Cause" why she should not be held in contempt for failing to serve documents.

If one party claims that the marriage is not irretrievably broken, then the court can suggest counseling.  I don't believe, however, that they can actually require it, but it can certainly delay the divorce.

Mutual consent is the best option.  This is a non-contested divorce.  Contact your local courthouse for the paperwork to file for a non-contested dissolution of marriage.  Most courthouse will have the paperwork for you to fill out.  I would start by making a list of the stuff that you want and a list of stuff she wants, have it signed and notarized and indicate that you are both not contesting the divorce.  This will protect the both of you if one decides to start being a problem.

The are a number ways, including filing a motion to set aside the default and a motion to quash service of the lawsuit.  You should consult an attorney right away because the court where the lawsuit was filed might not have jurisdiction over you.

You will need to get a lawyer and make an amendment to the divorce papers. The divorce is final, however, you can petition the court to make changes. Been there done that.

You draft a motion for finding of contempt, which is usually in the form of a motion for an order to show cause why the other party should not be held in contempt.  This motion goes to the court who originally issued the order for payment of alimony, which is usually the same court that issued the final divorce decree, of which the alimony is most often a part.\n\nThen the court will order and schedule a hearing, the other party has an opportunity to be heard, and an order will be issued if justified.\n\nIf the other party doesn't show, having been properly served with the motion to show cause/order for hearing, then you'll win by default, and the court will issue a contempt order.\n\nThis is sufficiently complex that it is usually best to have an attorney do the drafting and filing.

Contact your local city/county family court.  This is different in every court system, but most family courts have a "self-help" support service of some kind available to those who need to handle a divorce without a lawyer.  Or they might be able to refer you to a free or low cost legal aid clinic if one is available in your area.

It depends on where you live.  Most states have pre-printed forms for most of the divorce process.  You should also look for free or low-cost legal assistance in your area if you can't afford an attorney.

This is a sticky situation. First, I'm going to assume that your husband was on the original note and mortgage with his prior wife, therefore, he is obligated to make those payments when she does not, regardless of the divorce decree. It's crummy, I know. Sure, she can be held in contempt, but that really doesn't help you and your hubby out. My suggestion is this: Call the mortgage company that holds the note. Or rather, have your husband called. As he is on the note, he has a right to access any of the information. Have him explain the situation to the mortgage broker and find out what help they can offer him. Next, find an attorney that will sit down with you and find out what they suggest you do legally with the ex-wife. \n\nI can relate, as my divorce attorney suggested that all I needed to do was sign a quit claim deed to "remove" myself from the property. Luckily, working in the industry, I did know better, but it really bothers me that this is so common. Please keep us posted, I'll keep you and your hubby in my thoughts in the hopes that this works out for you.

No-fault divorce is divorce in which the dissolution of a marriage does not require fault on either husband or wife to be shown. It occurs on petition to the court, typically a family court by either party, without the requirement that the petitioner show fault on the part of the other party. Either party may request, and receive, the dissolution of the marriage, despite the objections of the other party.\n\nModern "no-fault" divorce came about because of widespread disgust among lawyers, judges, and the general public with the legal fictions that had become commonplace since the mid-20th century.\n\nPrior to the no-fault divorce revolution, a divorce could be obtained only through a showing of fault. This was something more than not loving one another; it meant that one spouse had to plead that the other had committed adultery or abandonment or some other similarly sinful act. However, the other spouse could plead a variety of defenses like recrimination. Often, a judge might find that the defendant had not committed the alleged act, or that both spouses were at fault for the fact that the marriage was dysfunctional. Either way, the judge would refuse to dissolve the marriage.\n\nSubsequently, at some point the two spouses would each find some other person they really loved, and then would seek to marry that other person. But first, they had to get rid of their existing marriage or risk prosecution for bigamy.\n\nNew York was notorious for its "collusive adultery," in which both sides deliberately agreed that the wife would come home at a certain time and discover her husband committing adultery with a "mistress" obtained for the occasion.[1] She would then swear to a carefully tailored version of these facts in court (committing perjury in the process), the husband would sheepishly admit to a similar version of the facts, the judge would convict the husband of adultery, and the couple would be divorced.\n\nIn most other states, especially California, the most popular grounds for divorce was cruelty (which was unavailable in New York). For example, by 1950, wives were pleading cruelty in 70 percent of divorce cases in San Francisco.[2] In case after case, wives would testify to the same pitiful facts: their husbands swore at them, hit them, and generally treated them terribly.\n\nThis procedure was described by California Supreme Court justice Stanley Mosk in a passionate dissent:\n\nEvery day, in every superior court in the state, the same melancholy charade was played: the "innocent" spouse, generally the wife, would take the stand and, to the accompanying cacophony of sobbing and nose-blowing, testify under the deft guidance of an attorney to the spousal conduct that she deemed "cruel." — In re Marriage of McKim, 6 Cal. 3d 673 (1972) (Mosk, J., dissenting) [3]. \nNeedless to say, such empty procedures were appalling to both lawyers and judges, who felt that it made oaths meaningless and threatened to destroy the integrity of the American justice system (by making lying in court into a commonplace occurrence).\n\nIndeed, as early as the 1930s, a treatise on American family law had complained:\n\nIn divorce litigation it is well known that the parties often seek to evade the statutory limitations and thus there is great danger of perjury, collusion, and fraud .... In many cases no defense is interposed, and often when the case is contested the contest is not waged with vigor or good faith.[4] \nStarting in the 1960s, numerous commentators pointed out that it might be best to recognize that two spouses who were determined to end their marriage would get what they wanted by any means necessary. Therefore, they argued, the law should adapt by providing a straightforward procedure for ending a marriage, rather than forcing a couple who just couldn't get along to choose between living together in "marital hell" or lying under oath in open court.

You would want to consult with your attorney, but that is almost certainly going to be governed by your specific divorce and custody agreements. I know my wife's agreements with her ex-husband prohibit either of them from moving more than some number of agreed upon miles from the other as long as my stepdaughter is still living with us.

I was in a very simialar situation with my ex  and sought advice from my divorce attorney. He recommended that the only way to legally stop him is to take out a warrant for slander and difimation of character at the local magistrate offfice.  Her divorce attorney can advise her on the best way to proceed from there, if she can prove everything that he has been saying is a lie and she has plenty of emotional support for her through this, I didnt but  i would do it all over again.

Sorry, I don't know if they have divorce kits in the UK or not, but they do in the USA; thats what I did after 9yrs. Fill it out, have the absent party sign it, and have it notarized,file it with the proper court and your done.
