Although it is rare, it is not prohibited for someone seeking a divorce to change his or her mind during or after the process in an attempt to reconcile with an ex.

Maintaining a healthy relationship can be incredibly difficult. It is possible that through a divorce, a couple could realize that many of its problems could be hashed out through communication and/or therapy, leading to continued romance.

Remember, there are no restrictions in New York or New Jersey about being remarried following a divorce, although there are very brief waiting periods. In New Jersey, you have to wait 72 hours following a divorce to apply for a marriage license; in New York, the wait time is only 24 hours.

Additionally, if you are in the process of getting a divorce, you can always seek to dismiss a petition, should you choose.

Recently, People Magazine reported that former Baywatch star Pamela Anderson was seeking to dismiss her pending divorce to her husband Rick Salomon. According to the news source, Anderson filed a petition on August 21 requesting that her divorce filing be dismissed.

According to People, Anderson and Salomon married first in 2007, but that marriage was annulled two months later. In October 2013, she acknowledged they were still good friends with benefits, and in January, she revealed they had secretly married again, the magazine reported—but by July, she had filed for divorce.

How Can an Attorney Help Me with Issues Involving My Spouse?

If you are in the process of getting a divorce and are thinking about changing your mind, you should talk to your attorney immediately. Additionally, if you are thinking about seeking a divorce, contact our attorneys so that we may review your case.

We understand that the end of a marriage can be a fluid situation. When you decide to contact our firm, you will meet with a paralegal that will spend approximately 20 minutes with you obtaining basic facts concerning your marriage and finances. Thereafter, you will watch a 20-minute video, which will answer many common questions about a divorce.

Remember, there is no fee for your meeting with the paralegal or watching the video. After this, the cost of a matrimonial consultation is $300.00 per half hour with Paul Goldhamer, B.A., J.D. Esq. You will be responsible for these fees regardless of whether or not you move forward with your case.

Talk to our family lawyers if you are contemplating a divorce. Our attorneys have almost four decades of experience and have helped countless people resolve issues surrounding their marriages.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. KGG Law, and Barry Kantrowitz in particular, set the bar high for what a thorough, practical, strategic, compassionate and smart lawyer can be. Everything about Barry's advice and representation was exemplary and the stress mitigation that resulted was invaluable. On top of that, the ultimate result Barry achieved was beyond what was reasonable to expect and we are forever grateful. Often, people say that you hire a lawyer to prevent a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, you need an attorney to solve a problem and I could not recommend Barry and his firm any more highly in that regard.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dad had a great experience with this law firm. From the very beginning, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to answer our questions. They kept us informed throughout the entire process and made what could have been a very stressful situation much easier to handle. We truly appreciated their dedication, honesty, and hard work. Thanks to their support, my dad felt confident every step of the way. We are very grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for reliable legal representation.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience working with Sam Smith. He was very responsive, thorough, and easy to work with from start to finish. He walked me through everything clearly and made what started as a very stressful situation for me into something completely manageable. I would not hesitate to recommend him and the firm!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kate Carballo is a dedicated, passionate, and creative attorney whom I had the pleasure to lecture with at a state trial lawyer's conference. Kate's lecture demonstrated how she uses her innovative and "out-of-the-box thinking" to achieve outstanding results for her injured clients. That Kate is certified by the Supreme Court of New Jersey as a civil trial attorney is a testament to her skills, experience and commitment to excellence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was referred to KGG law by a friend and could not have asked for better legal representation. They walked me through every step of the process after my accident and began every call with “ how are you feeling” which was just one example of how much they care about their clients. They handled my case very efficiently, professionally and courteously. My attorney Kate Carballo was a rock star! So clearly experienced, she consistently made me feel at ease with the process. Highly recommend

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with the team at KGG Law. While it was a traumatic time for our family, they made it very easy for us and explained all of our options. They even performed due diligence to make sure that after our settlement, there would be no further issues which I think is even more important than the settlement itself. Thank you!
