Name mis-spelt in final divorce decree

randomethic (Querist) 20 October 2014 This query is : Resolved
Hi,

I received the final divorce judgement and decree last week (MCD). While my name is spelt correctly in the judgement, in the decree, my name and also my father's name is mis-spelt. The spelling errors are restricted to one alphabet in each name.

Is there any way to get the spellings in the decree corrected? My lawyer said that the only way to do this would be to go through the entire MCD procedure again!

Also, if I do not get these corrected, will there be an issue if I get married again and register that wedding?

Please advise as I am puzzled as to why a clerical spelling error cannot be corrected and I will have to go through the entire proceedings again?

it is not necessary to go through the entire MCD procedure again . your lawyer can make application to court for speaking to the minutes of order . have mistake rectified

There won't be any issue even if the spelling mistakes are not corrected, it will hardly matter because atleast in one place your name has been spelled correctly.
