a jugde is not going to stop a court proceeding b/c someone gets upset and cries. if any kind of counseling is going to be ordered, it is the judge that is going to do it, and he/she will decide on the length of time

In all 50 states of the US, irreconcilable differences are grounds for divorce. Falling apart at a divorce hearing may delay the proceedings, but it won't prevent them.
If a judge WERE to deny the petition, it would most certainally be reversed on appeal. This appeal would cost everyone involved with the divorce a lot more money, and would be bad news for everyone involved.
Counseling can be ordered as part of a divorce proceeding. It is often ordered when there are children involved. The court has an expanded jursidction when a divorce with children happens.. The theory being.. the children didn't cause the divorce, and are caught in the middle.
I have seen cases where mom and dad were so hateful towards each other that the judge not only took the children from them, but denied them visitation unless supervised. It was an extreme case, but I trust the point is made.
You need an attorney skilled in domestic relations law. If you don't already have one, contact your local or state bar association for a referral.

No. The judge will typically take a recess to let the person compose him/herself. If that doesn't work, then, depending upon the other side's position the court will continue the hearing anyway. I've seen hearings proceed with people crying their eyes out & even with people restrained & in handcuffs. At the worst, the court can exclude an unruly party from the court room & still proceed.

If the one party is disrupting the court, they may merley reset another court date.
They may order the one person to be quiet, find them in contempt of court.
Most likely merely continue if it is merely a ruling on a motion and no testimony is going to be given.
Or anything the judge wants to do,

You can file for "consiliation" services. The other party has to go to one counseling session with you.
