No, it's about 95% of the battle.Currently doing a divorce myself - its consent so that's half the battle isn't it!
Hello,Hi All,
Currently doing a divorce myself - its consent so that's half the battle isn't it!
Lodged what i thought were the last of my docs to court only to receive a call from the court saying i needed a grounding affidavit - it wasn't mentioned in any of the document listings i had previously looked up - but found a template on the courts website i can use - my question is to anyone that has completed one - it says that i need to put in the grounds to which i seek the order - i imagine this will be what i have already added to the bill such as we lived apart for x amount of time - no prospect of reconciliation etc?
Can anyone tell me am I on the right track? The date I have is for this month so obviously anxious to get it done asap.
Thanks in advance!
Is this what you are looking for?Hello,
Dealing with divorce myself and also only found out I need the grounding affidavit when I finally managed to talk to the court official on the phone. Can't find the form though...could you please send me a link? Thank you.
Also, were you asked to fill out orignal consent orders? If so, what goes there? Like what we agree about rent, housing etc?
Thanks again

I'm in a similar situation. Only getting a handle on the original consent orders now. Was also told by the court to do a grounding affidavit. Our affairs were all sorted out 8 years ago so there is nothing to go into the grounding affidavit, so I don't know what to delete or put in the form you have linked on the courts website.Is this what you are looking for?
Hi there, how did you get on with the grounding affidavit? I have to do one now and I don't what to put in. Can I ask if you would link the form you found on the website and how you completed yours / what you put in it? Mine is also by consent and matters sorted 7 years ago, so I don't know what to put in it.Hi All,

Does your Deed of Waiver say that each of you consents to the court granting a decree of divorce? That is the primary relief you are seeking. Property adjustments, pension adjustments, extinguishment of inheritance rights, maintenance etc. would be the additional matters that would normally be dealt with in the consent terms handed in. (Lawyers can't use the term "additional matters". We have to say "ancillary reliefs" to keep the public mystified. )
In any event, taking your case at its most rudimentary, the court will want to see a document, signed by both parties, stating that you each consent to the court granting a decree of divorce. If that document is headed "consent terms" so much the better.
