Q: Petition for divorce was entered and Date set. Decided not to get divorced but now want to proceed. How do I reopen?
appearance was set for late November 2019.
A: The answer to your question would depend on whether you caused your case to be dismissed, and how and when it was dismissed. You have not furnished enough facts to enable a responsible answer. Filing a new case may be easier than trying to revive the first case.
A:
You may be able to file a motion to vacate and convince judge to vacate the dismissal order.
Whether that's a wise option depends on your judge, the dismissal date, and reason.
