A decree absolute is a legal document issued by a court that officially ends a marriage. It is the final step in the divorce process, and it is required before either party can remarry. To apply for a decree absolute, you must first have a decree nisi, which is a conditional order that dissolves the marriage. Once you have a decree nisi, you can apply for a decree absolute by completing the appropriate forms and submitting them to the court. The court will then issue a decree absolute, which will be sent to you and your former spouse.
There are several reasons why you might want to apply for a decree absolute. First, it will officially end your marriage and allow you to move on with your life. Second, it will protect you from any financial claims that your former spouse may make against you in the future. Third, it will allow you to remarry if you choose to do so.
