Ex-parte divorce decree not signed

The ex-parte divorce has been granted 6 months back for my cousin. Her husband filed the divorce and she didn't go to the arguments as they have been anyways separated for 7 years. So, the ex-parte order has been granted.

Now when we go to a lawyer to ask for the official divorce decree, after checking with the court for a long time, they are saying that the judge has not signed the official decree and it may take another month or so due to vacations and the judge getting transferred.

The online status of the case is showing as ex-parte order passed. So, is this a normal scenario that after 6 months, the decree is still not signed and we cant do anything about it ?

Hi! Thanks for the question! Normally the decrees and orders are not left unsigned for such a long time. In a normal course, a decree is signed within a week or 10 days after the final order is passed. However, here you can go straight to the court with a formal application to get the order and decree signed . This application has to be filed in the same court. After due scrutiny the case will be disposed off in the light of the facts and laws. Good Luck!
