Yes. Just to make sure that it really is over, before he abandons his wife for the newest girlfriend.

Yes, the judge has the power to order him into couple's therapy. Of course, the judge can't force him to cooperate with the program, and the judge can't force him to stay married. If he wants to get the divorce, he's allowed to get the divorce.
