You don't indicate whether your case is set for trial, or an uncontested final hearing. If set for trial, you will have to file a motion for continuance and set the motion for hearing before the court. You can explain the circumstances to the court at the hearing. If set for an uncontested final hearing, then in most circuits of the state you can cancel the hearing by filing a joint notice of cancellation of hearing, signed by both you and your wife. You should check with your court's family case manager or the judge's assistant to confirm that this will suffice.

The divorce can be put on hold. It is up to both of you to try to work things out, and it is usually best to see a marriage counselor for at least 10 or 12 sessions.

It would probably be easiest to contact the Judge's office and request a continuance of the Final Hearing.

Until the Court signs the divorce order you are not divorced, just file a dismissal.
