Is a divorce U-turn possible?

High-profile cases, such as Rory McIlroy and Pep Guardiola have shown that a divorce U-turn and reconciliation is possible even late in the divorce process. As long as the Final Order in the divorce has not been pronounced, a couple can apply to the court to withdraw their divorce application at any stage.

The 20-week waiting period in divorce is designed to give a couple time to reflect, and decide whether the divorce is something they really want.

Once the Final Order is pronounced, the divorce is legally complete and cannot be undone. At that point, the only way to “reverse” a divorce would be for the couple to marry again.
