Deemed service of the divorce application can be sought if the applicant can prove that their spouse has received the application, but will not return the Acknowledgement of Service. The respondent spouse has 7 days to file the Acknowledgement, however the applicant should allow a reasonable amount of time to respond before applying for deemed service. The time this takes will depend on the court’s capacity and the availability of evidence to prove non-engagement of the responding spouse.
