Many people never realize how hard it is to stop divorce proceedings because of reconciliation. For simply you just can’t say no once you filed those papers. For some, divorce could be the only way to save whatever’s left in the relationship-respect. For some, they consider divorce as the healthiest option in dissolving their relationship. There are also some who realized middle way that divorce isn’t really the answer, all because they finally reconciled and renewed ties with their partner. What if you feel that you never really wanted to pursue the matter but already filed those papers, how can you stop divorce proceedings because of eventual reconciliation? How can you stop these all from happening?
The truth is you can’t really just phone your lawyer and ask him to stop it for you. If your spouse filed the divorce, the other partner needs to comply. Getting rid of the idea is easier but the actual happening of making the divorce proceedings stop is harder. One cannot just say and reiterate the fact that you guys wanted to stay married. After all the filing has commenced and must be met.
Consult your divorce lawyer. Ask for suggestions or best available options. Explain why you need to end the proceedings and let your lawyer do the legal thing possible. In cases wherein divorce has been already filed, the best thing that one could do was to seek legal advice, ask for legal suggestions and take note of whatever legal consequences it could bring.
The idea of divorce proceedings being suspended because of reconciliation is never an easy task. That is why divorce is not a matter that must be rushed into. Hasty decisions often lead to divorce and marriage dissolution. Remind yourself that once you filed those papers, you’re bound by the law to comply and answer the petition. If your spouse filed for divorce, the next step would be to get a divorce lawyer, to make certain that your individual rights are duly protected. In certain countries like the United States, a divorce can be granted even without the spouse’s active participation. The courts will still continue holding the proceedings even upon refusal of the other person. There are also states which uphold the ‘no fault policy’ and in this case, divorce can still resume, the courts will acknowledge the proceedings and grant divorce anyway.
A marriage saved is always a good thing. It is advisable not to end a marriage due to irreconcilable differences, especially if you honestly feel that such isn’t real. Marriage must be kept given the right time and reasons. And divorce must be considered if and when such right reasons cease to exist.
