How Do I Stop My Divorce?

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Recently after filing for divorce in April 2010, Larry King and his wife, Shawn Southwick-King, have stopped their divorce proceedings. According to TVGuide.com, both filed for dismissal of their divorce in a Los Angeles court. King originally submitted the divorce papers and was planning to seek joint custody of the couple’s two sons. However, the couple began reconciling in May and decided to not divorce. King also recently announced his retirement from his CNN show of 25 years to be with his family.

If you have filed for divorce and would like to stop the divorce proceedings, you must begin with filing out a Request for Dismissal form. However, this form can only be submitted if you were the one who originally filed for the divorce. If your spouse filed the divorce papers, then he/she has to submit the form. Be aware that after you or your spouse submit this form, if you change your mind and want to proceed with the divorce, you must start from the beginning and pay all filing fees again.
