Legal Question in Family Law in Arizona
Am I divorced if the case was on the inactive calendar and then, 4 months later a Judgement of Dismissal was filed?
2 Answers from Attorneys
You are not divorced unless the court enters a Decree of Dissolution. If your case was dismissed, you are not divorced and there is no case pending. You might be able to have the case reinstated; otherwise, you will have to re-file.
Given that description, NO, you are not divorced.
We can certainly help you consider and then pursue your options to get divorced.
One of our attorneys can explain the issues and procedures better in person. As you can imagine, there is too much to cover via email. We offer free 1/2 hour consultations, in which we can discuss your matter in detail.
Please call us directly to discuss the specifics of your matter, or contact my assistant Alicia or my paralegal Jennifer to schedule your free 1/2 hour consultation.
