What happens when a divorce is dismissed?
In divorce cases, when a divorce case is dismissed it means that you stay married to your current spouse. When a case is dismissed in a child custody case, it means that any changes sought to a custody arrangement is effectively denied.
Is it better to be the plaintiff or defendant in a divorce?
There is one advantage to being the one to file the divorce. The person who files the divorce, under the code of civil procedure, is called the plaintiff and the other party is called the defendant. Another advantage to being a plaintiff is the way a non-suit is handled under the code of civil procedure.
What if I file for divorce and changed my mind?
If you change your mind soon after filing for divorce, you may be able to simply withdraw your divorce petition. To stop the process, you will need to contact the Court clerk where you filed the application and ask to withdraw, or this may be done by simply filing the appropriate form.
