A divorce isn't final until the judge signs a final decree of divorce. If you no longer need the divorce, you just need to file an agree motion to dismiss. Both of you will need to sign it, especially if your spouse counter-sued for divorce (essentially filed his/her own petition against yours). If you had an attorney during this process, you just need to call them to and let them know to file the dismissal or non-suit paperwork. If you didn't have an attorney, you may be able to contact one and pay a very nominal fee for them drafting you one so that it does get properly dismissed.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved. Unlike the information in the Answer(s) above, upon which you should NOT rely, for personal advice you can rely upon we suggest you retain an attorney to represent you.
