What do I do if my wife is trying to divorce me but I don’t want it?

In California, one party can choose to unilaterally seek a divorce, even without the consent or agreement of the other spouse. There is little to no legal recourse, thus your only real option would be to pursue alternative methods, such as couples counseling, to try and salvage the marriage. However, even if you do not want the divorce, it would be best to consult a family law firm which offers free consultations, such as my own, in order to protect yourself in the event that she does file for dissolution. Often the spouse who does not want the divorce goes to court without an attorney, thinking he or she can negate the request based on the lack of desire for the dissolution, yet the judge will still grant the divorce, and often on terms which the party is unprepared for.

Unfortunately in Michigan we have a no fault divorce law and you cannot force her to stay married.. You can fight and ask for counseling on behalf of the kids to see if you can change her mind It will take a minimum of 6 months under Michigan law because of the minor children.

If she wants a divorce, she can get one, whether you want one or not. At most, the court can order that you participate in marriage counseling. You should be thinking about what kind of parenting plan you want with the children since you have little choice about the divorce.

Can't. If she wants a divorce, she will get a divorce. I suppose if you went to counseling to go over those "mistakes" and did your best to be the man, husband and father you are supposed to be, that might delay the divorce. You should have thought how much your wife and family meant to you before you made the "mistakes."

In Nebraska if one person says the marriage is over, it is over and there is nothing that can be done except to perhaps attempt to get your spouse to go with you to counseling.

No sorry. In a no fault state such as California all one of the parties has to say is that there are irreconcilable differences and a divorce can be granted.

Florida is a no fault divorce State. That means all she has to do is say irreconcilable differences. In other words, you cannot stop the divorce. Your best approach may be Mediation. Mediation is Fast, Effective and Affordable. Both spouses must agree to mediate.
