In such matters otherwise;
Apply your rapport, goodwill and take help of elders of the family/well wishers/shrude negotiators/ mediators etc on both sides and try to crease the differences and save the marriage without litigation( Best Recourse)…………….If court orders to rejoin that is also a recourse..
Or if all efforts fail prefer to end the troubled wedlock by MCD ( 2nd Best Recourse)
Or last recourse is contested divorce that involves prolonged litigation, stress and expenses… Keep unshakable witnesses and irrefutable evidences if your aim is separate without paying costs on valid grounds and merits.
Spend quality time with a very able senior LOCAL counsel of unshakable repute and integrity specializing in Family matters and having successful track record ….. and worth his/her salt
If a spouse that has proceeded to approach court for divorce ……………and other spouse is willing to end the wedlock then both should firm up the T&C, remove contentious issues like withdrawal of ongoing cases, maintenance/alimony, custody of child, future obligations, etc and liberate from troubled wedlock and move ahead to build career and future…and enjoy the beautiful gift of life and pleasures of life..
Many spouses of your gender yearn that other spouse shouldm initiate divorce proceedings....
You may have your reasons.........If IT is just feeling of some counterblast or revenge or ego then give IT a considered second thought..
Or IT could be a considered startegy of other spouse and counsels of other spouse..
