Almost half of first marriages end in divorce, costing the couple an average of $7,000.
However, there are cases where one initiates a divorce but does not fully go through with it, which can be called a withdrawn divorce.
A withdrawn divorce occurs when a divorce petition is dismissed in court, and the couple decides to stay legally married. Divorces can take time, and complicated or contested divorces usually take over a year to fully establish and finalize.
A couple may decide to withdraw a divorce for several reasons. These could include:
Regardless of the reason, a withdrawn divorce legally dismisses the divorce case or petition, allowing the couple to remain married.
Ending your relationship may have been challenging, and you could feel even more overwhelmed now that you have to negotiate with your spouse about how to put your lives back together.
