Carwhisperer Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 I filed for divorce on June 18th. She filed a response on July 1st but no hearing was set. I realized I made a mistake about 3 weeks ago and asked her to get back together 2 weeks ago. I tried to file a dismissal but found that I need her signature to file it. Apparently, I can request a hearing to have the dissolution dismissed without her signature. She has an attorney and I don't. What are the chances of me winning this effort to have the case dismissed without her signature? Link to post Share on other sites

Author Carwhisperer Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thank you for the quick reply. How do you know this to be true, if you don't mind me asking? Link to post Share on other sites
carhill Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Legally divorcing doesn't change anything about the human relationship. It merely severs the legal business tie. IMO, I think you're being foolish not being represented by counsel if she is. Time to level the playing field. Topically, you've sued her for divorce. She's filed a response. Regardless of any action you take, she can continue the suit. I'd have to check, but uncontested might have been reversible, but it's too late for that now. For the action to end, there has to be a meeting of the minds, or action by the court. That's my understanding as someone going through it right now... Link to post Share on other sites
Gunny376 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Thank you for the quick reply. How do you know this to be true, if you don't mind me asking? 52 years of living. 12 years of marriage 6-1/2 years of shacking up 20 + years in the Marine Corps 4 + year of college 19 years since divorcing and reading and studying about: Divorce, Dating, Relationships Men and Women Romance Seduction Sex Law Divorce law Business Business Law Finance Economics Statistics And many other subjects. I only hold a bachelors degree in finance. But I am a true scholar in that I pursue knowledge for knowledge's sake! I read ALOT! I own a lot of books and have read a lot of them more than once ~ most non-fictional. In fact? I own very few fictional books. I'm far from being an expert when it comes to relationships, marriage, etc. But? I know a lot of things about a lot of things. I've read the World book encyclopedia and the Britannica Encyclepedia cover to cover A~Z, twice. (When your on a ship for ship for six months? You'll do anything to kill the boredom) Link to post Share on other sites
Gunny376 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Just noticed you live in CA! Make that "Slim to none ~ slim just left town" And welcome to the first day of the rest of your life without her! Recent CA divorce case? Wife and DH own a real estate company? DH suspects something funny? Hires a PI! PI follows DW around for a couple of months. Reports back that all she does is go to work, comes home, hangs with BF~GF at her house. They shop, they hang out, go to lunch, sunbath by the GF's pool! Wife drops the bomb! I want a divorce, "I love you! But I'm not in love with you!" Yada, yada, yade! They file! He buys her out of the real estate business (before the crash) buys her out of the half million dollar home, is ordered to pay her $1500 a month in alimony payments. After the divorce? The XHEX moves in with the GF. Turns out they're Lovers. The CA Supreme Court rules that its cool for members of the same sex to be married! The guy takes her back to court! Argues that she's "re-married" and he's no longer obligated to pay alimony! The court rules? That he's on the hook until she either dies or marries a man! Because the divorce went down, back before being gay was cool and legal! Link to post Share on other sites
