What do I do if my spouse changes their mind after asking me for a divorce?

If your spouse, who's asked you for divorce, comes back to you and says they want to work on the marriage, the first thing you have to ask them is, "Why?" They're going to have to show you and demonstrate that they still want to be married to you and really work on the marriage. You're will need to understand the process your spouse went through to reach this new decision. That means to understand: are they doing this because they just met with a lawyer who told them they're going to lose half their fortune? Or, did they find out they won't see their children as often? Perhaps your spouse's father or grandfather, or brother or sister, disapproves of the divorce, or the might have really decided they want to remain married to you. That's a really hard thing to figure out, so take your time before you say to your spouse, "Okay, let's reconcile."
