Am I right in thinking that there is no Decree Nisi or Decree Absolute in Scotland. Just a Decree of Divorce that is usually issued in 6 to 8 weeks after divorce papers (Simplified Divorce, 2yrs Separation) have been lodged.
In Scotland a simplified divorce can be used if separation of one year with consent or two years separation without consent assuming financial disputes are resolved and no children under 16.
 
I have lived in Glasgow all my life and after 20 years of marriage he left and I filed for divorce, a few years later I received the Decree Nisi and signed and returned it and a few months later received the Decree Absolute, my daughter was under 16 when filed for divorce but due to property and future pensions etc it took several years before divorce was complete. Cost £35,500 thank goodness for legal aid.
