Re: Divorce
It is not possible to apply for financial orders once decree absolute has been pronounced. However it is usual for this application to be made in the divorce petition and I suspect that this will be your case. If so then an application to proceed can be made up until such time as the applicant remarries. The statutory limitation period of six years is quite irrelevant.
It sounds as if you should be making an application for a clean break to finally bring to an end any financial consequences of this marriage.
