QUESTION
Can I file a petition to reinstate the divorce? Can it be granted this time since I had limited funds before while my husband had free representation?

More details to this question:
My divorce complaint in Pennsylvania was terminated on January 27, 2012 due to lack of prosecution. Can I file a petition to reinstate the complaint and if so, what is the likelihood of the petition being granted on the grounds that I had limited funds while my husband had free representation through his job and contested every action?

I have never heard of a divorce complaint being stricken for lack of prosecution but I know it is done with other civil complaints. My guess is that you can always file again-I seriously doubt if you would be barred from fling again.

Without reviewing the docket in your case, I cannot understand what happened, but I will suggest that the simplest procedure would probably be to file a new Complaint, with a new docket number.
