If you are considering dismissing your Orange County Dissolution of Marriage, or divorce, case, you should consult with your qualified Orlando divorce attorney. In some instances, after a couple has filed for divorce, they decide to reconcile. Your Orlando family law attorney is in the best position to advice you regarding dismissing your pending divorce.
There are several issues that are important to keep in mind once the case is dismissed. If your reconciliation fails, and you decide to finalize the divorce, you would need to re-file a Petition for Dissolution of Marriage, including paying a new filing fee. In addition, the legal determination as to what is a marital asset/liability versus a separate asset/liability is the date of filing the Petition for Dissolution of Marriage. Once the currently pending Petition is dismissed, all assets and liabilities incurred by either of you up to the present and into the future will likely be considered marital and subject to division.
