More details to this question:
I filed for divorce, filed the proof of summons, and now want to revoke the papers because we are going to stay married...my husband has not yet filed. His deadline to file his papers is tomorrow. What do I need to do to ensure that the divorce does not go through and that we can stay married?!

File a Request For Dismissal of the action. So long as he has not filed, only you need to sign the document for dismissal. Tell him not to file anything.

You could write the court and ask them to dismiss the case. (Identify the parties by name, and include the case number.) If your husband is willing, have him sign the paper also. The judge can then determine that the dismissal is by stipulation between the two of you. Good Luck.

You can file the appropriate documents to voluntarily dismiss the case. I assume he hasn't filed the response yet. However, if he wants to proceed, he is free to file for a divorce after the court dismisses the case.

I would strongly suggest that you confer with an attorney, but at a minimum that you go to the court and seek a voluntary dismissal of the case.

The Court won't care about his deadline. Just file a *Request for Dismissal* indicating "without prejudice".
