Hi Evertonforever,

Welcome to wiki, as a new member, you will usually get more responses if you start a new thread, tagging on to an old thread can lead to your post getting missed.

To answer your question:

There are three parts to divorce,

1. Making an application for divorce leading to Decree Absolute.

2. Contact and provision for children born to the family.

3.Application for financial remedy leading to either a sealed Consent Order or court order.

Your question about applying for your decree Absolute, many wait until financial remedy consent order, having your Absolute will not protect your finances.

The general advise is not to embark on acquiring new assets until the financial order has been sealed, doing so could put them at jeopardy of being claimed as part of the marital pot.

Best wishes,

NWTT.
