Divorce Attorneys Boise Idaho (208) 472-2383

Divorce and Reconciliation
As a Boise Divorce Attorney I have seen many many heartbreaking divorce cases.  Divorce can be a very challenging time for the individuals involved.  It can be a very difficult emotional and psychological strain.  Not all divorces are high conflict nor extreme emotional or psychological burdens.  As unusual and bizarre as it may seem, some divorce cases actually turn around and the parties decide to reconcile.


Can You Reconcile and Stop a Divorce?
The Idaho Code has a provision in the domestic relations section which provides for reconciliation.  If you have filed for divorce and each party, at some point before the divorce is final, agrees that there might be a chance of getting back together, your divorce lawyers can request that the Court allow the parties a set period of time to see if they can in fact reconcile.  If they can, the party who filed for divorce can withdraw their complaint.  At this point there are no divorce proceedings and the parties can return to being a married couple.  If, during the reconciliation period, the parties cannot come to terms, they can return to the action and continue with the divorce.


What Happens To Temporary Orders During a Reconciliation Period?
If the court has established temporary orders as to the custody and support of your minor children, those orders will stay in place during the reconciliation.  If you move back in with one another, obviously there won't be visitation exchanges.  If you do reconcile, the temporary order, like the divorce itself, goes away.  If you don't, the court can either reaffirm the temporary order or establish a new one.
