Can I Stop the Divorce?

My spouse wants a divorce but I do not want to give it to him/her. How do I stop the divorce?

Unfortunately, you cannot stop the divorce. As I tell my clients, it takes two people to decide to get married, it only takes one to decide to get a divorce. The party that does not want the divorce can make it take longer, and cost more, but they cannot force the other party to stay married to them. You can encourage them to reconcile, and invite them to attend marriage counseling with you, and sometimes this will result in a change of heart and a reconciliation. But, unless your spouse is willing to do this voluntarily, you cannot force them and the divorce will happen - at that point is becomes a question of when and under what terms.
