Re: defendents options
The Respondent in the dissolution proceeding may praecipe the Court to reset a hearing and see that an order to appear is served upon the petitioner. He should also file a counter-petition, because, if the petitioner testifies that he/she does not want a dissolution and that the marriage is not irretrievably broken, then the Respondent can so testify with a counter-petition on file and the dissolution will be granted.
