RECONCILIATIONS
IN DOMESTIC CASES
When the court is
notified of a reconciliation, Judge Tahvonen will sign a submitted order of dismissal in
the case. Either party may, within one year, submit a
motion fee and petition to have the order dismissing
set aside and the Judges will routinely grant that
motion. Further, there will be no additional filing
fees or costs incurred and the original action will be
reinstated so as to benefit from the running of the
original time limits.
The Judges have adopted
this policy to close our files when no further action
is contemplated and to permit the attorneys to do the
same. In addition, the parties, when attempting
reconciliation, do not have the pending divorce action
hanging over their heads.
Please complete and
forward the attached Order of Dismissal After Notice
of Reconciliation to the Court for processing.
