How likely is a judge going to grant Decree Absolute if finances have not yet been resolved?

Briefly: There is a court hearing in place for financial remedy, but hearing for DA is before this.

The petitioner applied for Nisa, which was granted some time ago. Petitioner didn't go on to apply for Absolute, so respondent did (out of time). Original Petitioner is opposing DA due to finances not being resolved - just seems to be a death in service claim that petitioner wants as I believe other finances can be sorted at any time (years later if not sorted earlier).

Has anyone any advice or been in similar situation???

thanks

Is it okay to share what happened at the hearing for DA, as Financial order was not in place, and the Petitioner after getting Decree Nisi was objecting the Decree Absolute?

Usually in the circumstances you describe the judge orders that the decree absolute won’t be allowed until after the finances are sorted.

What happened in your case?

In these circumstances, if it is the Petitioner who got the Decree Nisi, who wishes to proceed with the Decree Absolute application, there may be a better chance that it gets approved.

In my case, even after the Decree Nisi and Financial Order, Petitioner did not apply for Decree Absolute. But when it came to enforcing the order in terms of selling property etc, Petitioner had to apply for Decree Absolute,
