The initiator of the divorce can file to dismiss the petition, or both of you can file a joint petition for dismissal. [maxbutton id=&#8221;1&#8243; ] Once you\u2019ve filed the dismissal the divorce is over with and you can get on with the work of repairing your marriage. You can do this up until the divorce decree is signed because you are still married in the eyes of the law until that happens. You can\u2019t do this after the divorce decree is signed, however. There\u2019s no way to cancel the divorce as you\u2019re no longer married under the law once this happens. At that point you\u2019d need to get re-married. Another option, assuming the court file is open, is to put your divorce on \u201chold\u201d or \u201cinactive status\u201d.\u00a0 This is accomplished by filing a stipulation that both parties wish to put the matter on hold.\u00a0 The court will generally wait 12 months, and if no action has been taken, the court file will be closed.\u00a0 Any new action will require re-filing.\u00a0..."}
