Time Needed for Voluntary Dismissal

Posted by Thomas MallonJun 29, 20150 Comments

Question:

I filed notice to voluntarily dismiss complaint for absolute divorce by mail with the $15 fee over 10 days ago. It still says active/open online. No answer was filed, so how long for the case to be dismissed?

Practice Area: Dismiss Absolute Divorce

Answer:

A party may voluntarily dismiss there case if an answer has yet to be filed. If an answer or response has been filed, the parties may file a dismissal, but only if signed by both parties.
