If you have been separated for two years with no settlement in sight, if you are not able to resolve the issues in your divorce, the judge will make a final decision on all issues pertaining to your divorce action. However, if you believe that you and your spouse can work things out, and you have a desire to make the marriage work, then you can file a voluntary dismissal of your divorce action. Hopefully you are represented by an experienced attorney. If not, you should at least take the time to consult an attorney beofore making a decision either way.
