Can my husband stop divorce?
I filed for divorce in May . It was an uncontested divorce , it is now the end of August. My lawyer called and now my husband wants to back out of divorce . It seems that my husband hired a lawyer and said that the marriage can be saved and he signed the paperwork under false pretenses. Has any one ever had this happen . My lawyer said he doesn’t have a case.

don’t worry… if he already signed…. then he signed…
besides, if you don’t want to stay… no one can force you to stay.
He can’t force you to stay married to him, if thats what your asking in a roundabout way.
You can BOTH cancel the divorce, but not just one if the other still wants a divorce.
You are not obligated to stay married if you don’t want to be, this is a free country and you can divorce if you want to.
He can hold up your divorce, but in due time he will have to divorce you. Just hold in there the judge or mediator will rule it out a divorce.
bottom line – he can contest it, but the longer you stay separated the easier its going to be in court. dont know how your state works, but in de if you are apart 6 months or more the other spouse cant do anything about the divorce
No he can not stop the divorce , he can however make it take forever by doing this but what will happen is the judge will overrule him and YOU will still end up with what you want .Don’t worry he can’t MAKE you stay married to him
He can’t stop it, he might be able to delay things but not stop things.
find out why he change his mind then you may chaange your mind to
he can attempt to delay it but in the end, if you want a divorce, you will get one…all it takes is one of the partners to petition the judge and for the judge to find a divorce is in order, and to grant one. Your Soon to be ex’s stall tactics will only work for so long and in the end, neither his co-operation nor signature is required……good luck.
He can not stop the divorce if you are not willing to try again. However, he can drag it out for as long as he wants. That’s easy…keep coming up with things to dispute, keep rescheduling the mediations, keep filing counter responses, etc..
The reason he signed it before without contesting it is because he probably thought you were not going to go through with it and were just going through a phase. Then when he got served…it all came to a halt and he realized you were serious.
If you feel any love for him….you should try. At least he wants to try. Many guys just don’t care.
But if its it for you…be respectful and patient towards him. If you start acting like a disgruntled ex, judges don’t like that.
