I need to know the step by step process to dismiss my divorce without a lawyer. My husband never signed any papers for the divorce in the first place.

You can just let it sit, and eventually it will be dismissed for want of prosecution.

Or you can file a motion to dismiss. It simply says:

COMES NOW Amanda Watson, Petitioner, and moves the Court to dismiss this case. Petitioner no longer desires to prosecute this case.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Petitioner prays that the Court dismiss this case.

-------------------

File the motion, and submit it with an order. The order says:

Be it remembered that on this day came on to be considered the Motion to Dismiss filed by Amanda Watson, Petitioner. The Court finds that it is well-taken and should be granted. It is therefore ORDERED that this case is dismissed.
