Better check with the lawyer. They will drop the case and if things don't work out you will pay again cuz the lawyers are thieves. They will not let you know!!!!

if you filed and your lawyer submitted the papers to the court you may already be divorced. if you have not received anything than there is a good chance that they were not submitted to the court. This is something you should call you lawyer about. You will not have to appear before a judge.

The judge usually sets a limit on how long a divorce case can be open. He/ She likes to clear cases from his docket as soon as possible.
