QUESTION
Will a divorce dismissal also dismiss the marital settlement agreement?
Asked on Mar 11th, 2016 on Divorce - Florida
More details to this question:
I filed an expedited dismissal of a marital settlement agreement/divorce. My ex and his attorney that made this contract both signed the dismissal voluntarily under rule 1.420 1.420 and it was filed in the courts. Is the marital agreement still valid if the divorce was dismissed?

No, if your case has been voluntarily dismissed, then any agreement or order under that case was also dismissed.

It might still be a binding contract, but I have to know a lot more than you have written here.

Once a case is dismissed the agreement is also dismissed, unless there is clear language in the agreement to the contrary.
