We recently discussed the fact that Kobe and Vanessa Bryant decided to try to work things out rather than get divorced. It happens. Sometimes after deciding to file for divorce, couples work out their differences and decide to stay together. If you already have your divorce proceedings in court, it may be possible to stop the proceedings before the divorce becomes final.
A divorce is initiated by filing a petition for divorce. To stop the proceedings, the spouse who filed the petition has to file a Request for Dismissal. If the other spouse filed a Response, then the other spouse will also have to join or file a Request for Dismissal. Keep in mind that if you later want to pursue the divorce, you will have to start over with a new petition and pay the filing fees again.
