Divorce

Acknowledgment of Service

1 min read

A court form the respondent completes to confirm they've received a divorce or dissolution application. It's also where they say whether they intend to dispute the application. Since no-fault divorce began in April 2022, a divorce can only be disputed on limited grounds, such as jurisdiction or the validity of the marriage.

In Plain English

A form the person responding to a divorce must fill out to confirm they have received the papers and to say whether they intend to dispute it on the limited grounds allowed.
