Can either spouse prevent the entry of a divorce decree?
In some situations, the spouse that does not consent to the entry of a divorce decree can stall the entry of the decree for up to two years from the date of separation of the parties. However, after the expiration of two years from the date of separation, either spouse can proceed to obtain the divorce decree.
