What is a Withdrawn Divorce?

metting

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However, there are cases where one initiates a divorce but does not fully go through with it, which can be called a withdrawn divorce.

A withdrawn divorce occurs when a divorce petition is dismissed in court, and the couple decides to stay legally married.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.

What is a Withdrawn Divorce?

A couple may decide to withdraw a divorce for several reasons. These could include:

  • Reconsidering their decisions
  • The divorce process taking too long
  • Wanting to raise their children together
  • Saving the expense of divorcing a partner
  • Wanting to try again and improve their relationship
  • Resolving the issues leading to the divorce through counseling or couples therapy

Regardless of the reason, a withdrawn divorce legally dismisses the divorce case or petition, allowing the couple to remain married.
