The plaintiff intends to file the Praecipe to Transmit Record on or after a specific date, and this filing typically occurs after all required waiting periods have expired and necessary documents have been filed.
Once the praecipe is filed with the court, the case record is transmitted to a judge who will review the file and, if everything is in order, enter the final divorce decree, officially dissolving the marriage without requiring a formal hearing.
The form contains a formal request to the prothonotary to send the divorce case file to the judge and includes verification that all required procedural steps have been completed, such as the filing of necessary affidavits and compliance with waiting periods. It presents a request that a final decree in divorce be entered and serves as the final step before the court issues the divorce decree.
