Good morning,
Just looking for some advise.
I undertook the simplified Divorce procedure, lack of engagement from the ex, which was subsequently granted, and I have just now recieved the Extract Decree of the Divorce (as I'm Scotland-based) in the post. I believe that means that I am now officially divorced... Yeah? I have 3 children (over the age of 16) which I already pay Maintenance for through the child maintenance Service, so that's fine. However. Where does the Extract Decree leave me now financially - my pension, savings I have. Nothing has been stated, I dont really have anything, but would rather know whats what. I understand that we in Scotland don't have a Decree Absolute and the Extract is the equivalent. Does this give me a clean start/fresh start financially? or do I still need to do something to achieve this?

Stressing out here.
I assumed I would get a booklet to say everything and anything of importance. I didnt.
The Extract Decree itself states "The sheriff pronounced Decree divorcing the Responder from the Applicant. The extract is warrant for all execution heron"

Can anyone help? Do I have a clean start or what?
Thanks in advance.
