701 - Can I Stop the Divorce?You cannot stop a divorce by yourself if your spouse is determined to get one. You can slow down the divorce. You can make it hurt more. You can make it cost more. But the nature of no‑fault divorce in Alabama is that a spouse who's absolutely determined to divorce can make it happen even over his or her spouse's objections. What you do have is the informal power of persuasion. And precisely because you can slow down the divorce, you can make it more painful, and you can make it more expensive, you may have more options than you realize. The key is that you do have alternatives to divorce, alternatives that in many cases may respond to your real needs better than a divorce would. If you have access to the Internet, you may want to check out my web site, Divorceinfo.com, which has a thorough list of the disadvantages of divorce, and some alternatives to divorce if you're working to save your marriage. Alabama Family Law Center serves clients who need to get through divorce and who are able to be reasonably cooperative. The goal is for both spouses to survive divorce and move on with their lives with some money in their pockets and their dignity intact. No representation is made that the quality of the legal services to be performed is greater than the quality of legal services performed by other lawyers.
