I had thought about that too, but I don't think so. Usually where the case is opened is where it must stay. The case in CT would have to be closed first. I don't see how FD can get the divorce dismissed without having a custody ruling. JD is the one who filed but now she is not showing up for court dates. What will FD do next? Ask for a Default Judgment? Divorce by publication?
Missing Mom Case: Fotis Dulos Wants Divorce Case Dismissed
"In the last five months, neither the plaintiff nor her legal team has filed any pleadings or made any markings designed to prosecute this action and bring it closer to trial," Rochlin wrote, noting that the court hasn't taken action to move the case closer to trial. "As such, the case is dormant and absent the participation of the Plaintiff to prosecute her case, it can no longer remain a viable action."
So, FD wants to start divorce over from scratch? Since JD cannot be located, in order to get a divorce it would HAVE to be by publication, IMO. And FD would get what he asks for in the Final Judgment. Custody being a separate issue though. I wonder why he is not seeking default right now? Instead of just dismissed? I don't think he thought of any of this before May 24th. He also underestimated GF and armed guards. HAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
