Will a dissolution of marriage be granted if one party opposes to the divorce or is it mandatory that the couple go to counseling to try and reconciliate first?
I left my husband last week and want to work things out. Unfortunately he says that he doesn’t want to anymore. I don’t want a divorce and he does. He wants us to split everything in half most most of the things are mine anyway.

Under the laws of all states in this country, once a marital dissolution pleadings has been filed and both parties have appeared, the court orders the parties to go through counseling and mediation to try to save the marriage. If such is not sucessful, then the dissolution proceeding will go forward even if one of the spouses does not want to get divorced.
