HOW TO STOP A WASHINGTON DIVORCE IN PROGRESS
Occasionally,
after a party has started a divorce action in Washington (Dissolution of
Marriage), they change their mind, and decide they want to stop the
legal proceedings. This may be for a variety of reasons, including
reconciliation, guilt, change of mind, giving it another try, etc. As an
attorney, I would never stand in the way of the reconciliation of the
parties, but sometimes it is worth letting the legal action sit for a
while, while you pursue the reconciliation. I would strongly encourage
marital counseling. If after a while it is successful, then we can
dismiss the legal action. If it does not work, we can proceed from where
we left off, and not have to go back and start all over again (costing
additional time and money).
The procedure we go through to stop the legal action depends upon where
we are in the process. If the other party has not appeared in the action
or filed a Response, we can unilaterally dismiss the action with a
Voluntary Non Suit. If the other party has appeared and filed a
Response, then the petitioning party cannot just unilaterally dismiss
the action. It will take the agreement of the parties to dismiss, by
filing an Agreed Order of Voluntary Dismissal.
