Can I Stop My Divorce?

Yes! If the divorce petition hasn’t yet been served on the other party, it is usually possible to withdraw it by writing to the court and asking for it to be withdrawn. Once the petition has been served, the position becomes a little more complicated; if you both agree that you want to put the divorce on hold, an application can be made to the court to bring the proceedings to an end. If there is no agreement, the person who started the divorce will need to ask the court for permission to withdraw the petition. All of this to say, it’s best to be as sure as you can be before you log on and press the big green Apply Now button.
