Can I withdraw a divorce?

Over a year ago, my husband and I were separated. I sent
him divorce papers with me as the plaintiff. We have since
reconciled. But after a huge fight a month ago, he filed the
papers. I am under a No Contact Order. I dont want the
divorce now. Is there any way I can withdraw the complaint
for divorce?

You can file a request for dismissal (court form).
If the dismissal is with prejudice, this means the case can't be reinstated.
If the dismissal is without prejudice, this means the case can be reinstated in the future.
Complete the appropriate sections on the court form.
