Hi

I''ve taken my papers to the court yesterday and this morning I noticed I''ve made a spelling mistake on the surname in part 2 for details of the respondent.

What would be the best way to deal with this?

Contact the court asap or pop in to explain - the details on the Decree Nisi need to be accurate - as this is what will appear on the Decree Absolute.

I had the same issue (except it was the Court who made the error) and all got sorted quickly.

These things will happen. I have checked and double checked documents, sent them off and then realised I put the wrong month and date on them.

I put it down to stress!

It''s very common and nothing to worry about, corrections can be made at the Directions for trial stage, or there is a slip rule to correct good old fashioned mistakes.
