The case might have been dismissed if the husband never served the wife or did not serve the wife properly. The wife can file for divorce if the case was dismissed. If the husband's case was not dismissed and is still active then the court might reject the wife's filing.

As much as you may want to settle your divorce by mutual agreement, there is nothing you can do to force your spouse to agree to the terms that you want her to. Unless both parties agree to all the divorce terms, you must have a contested divorce and it will be litigated in court.
