court ordered counseling, even if we do live in a no fault state and i am disagreeing with him will the court grant my petition for counseling eventhough my husband is against it?

Only because he hasn't given me a reason as to why and we have three children. All he says is that he'll regret it and that in a few months we can get remarried. why go through all that before trying counseling.

You'll have a better outcome (it's better for your case) if your husband tells the judge that he's refusing counseling. It won't make him look good, which is exactly what you want. So, go for it!

In some states, particularly if children are involved, there can be mandatory counselling required before a divorce is granted. But frankly, if he's against counselling but gets forced into it, it's probably not going to change anything.

He's probably gay, bisexual, or wants to become a woman if he actually said that you could get remarried in a few months.
If that's honestly what he said, then he's got a major bombshell he's gonna' drop that he probably thinks is going to change (or severely risk) his marital status anyway.
I would spend the time between now and the divorce establishing--if you can--your financial independence with the expectation of no future support from him. Then, adopt a "wait and see" attitude unless/until he drops his bombshell and THEN decide what else you're going to do.

Most states are no fault. If you have no kids, no judge is going to mandate counseling. If you have kids, the court will likely mandate mediation for custody.
If he wants the divorce why fight an uphill battle, seems to me if he is fighting a control freak, he has just cause.

Guess who has to pay for the counseling, you do, do you really want to force him to go, when he will probably not even participate? It is really expensive, at least $100 per hour. I would just go along with the divorce and cut my losses if I were you.
Why the hell would you get remarried? I think you both need to get your heads examined.

Why on earth do you want to stay married to someone who doesn't want to stay married to you?
And in answer to your question, the courts won't order counseling in a no fault state.

Check with an attorney, but I believe that since you already filed, the Texas courts may tell him to settle it in Utah.

Don't waste your time with it. He doesen't want to me married to you and as far as an explanation, don't worry about it cause he'll only tell you lies and what he wants you to know. More than likely he met someone he'd rather spend his life with. Let it go and you'll do better.

It depends on the court and the judge. Do you really want to do that, though? Sounds like he is really ready to move on.

They should. Most courts want to avoid poeple divorceing.
