Re: court date

Have you spoken with your husband? Nothing is irretrievable. If you want to make a reconciliation, then this can be arranged. You may want to seek out a legal mediator, like myself, or perhaps a marriage counselor. The legal system is set up to favor the family unit. That is, the system forces you to wait three months from filing the divorce complaint for the very purpose of hoping reconciliation may occur. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any help.

Re: court date

First of all, if you wait until the final date of the divorce and tell the court you do not believe the marriage is irretrievably broken down, but your husband says it is, then he will be granted the divorce anyway.

You need to file a motion for reconciliation and have it heard by the court. The court must grant it. Then you both are required to go to counseling to see if you can't reconcile.
