HOW CAN I STOP MY DIVORCE PROCEEDINGS?

QUESTION: How long after the divorce petition has been filed can it be stopped?

MY RESPONSE: If your Petition has never been served, or if it hasn't been responded to, you should promptly file a Request for Dismissal of the entire action without Prejudice, and that should stop and cause the dismissal of the divorce case. If your spouse has filed a Response, the signatures of both parties are required on the Request for Dismissal in order for the case to be dismissed.
