Asked about 1 year ago - Carlisle, PA
FlagI am involved in a divorce through Perry County, PA. My wife started the divorce, but can no longer continue on with it for several reasons including relocation and money. Is there a way that I can take over from where it was left off?
Yes. If the case is even still active (sometimes they are dismissed for inactivity), you can pursue an end to the divorce so long as you are a named party to the case. It will be helpful when you file new pleadings in the case to know your wife's current address so you can show that she gets notice of what you file.
