What if I Change My Mind About Getting a Summary Dissolution?

There are three reasons you might have for wanting to stop the Summary Dissolution:

You have decided to return to your spouse and continue the marriage;
You may want to change over to the Regular Dissolution (divorce) as a better way of getting your divorce; or
The wife discovers she is pregnant.

Either spouse may change his or her mind and decide to stop the Summary Dissolution from continuing.

To do this, fill out a:

Notice of Revocation of Petition for Summary Dissolution (Form FL-830)
and file it at family court.
The Notice of Revocation form should be filed at court less than six months after the Joint Petition form was filed.
If your spouse has not yet filed a Request for Final Judgment form, you can still revoke the Summary Divorce by filing the Revocation form.
The Notice of Revocation should only be filled out if you want to stop the divorce.
