What is the name of your state? WV
My husband and I have been separated for a few days now, because he told me that he was having an affair with a co-worker. I have no intentions of giving him a divorce now or ever, because I know that we can work through our problems. I was wondering if he could get a divorce without my wanting one also????THANKS!!!!

To add to stealth -- you have no chance of stopping him from getting a divorce just because you don't want one so why do you want to delay this and cost both of you a lot of money? Or maybe that is the intent?

In certain states (like New York for instance) one can certainly contest a divorce ground and stop the divorce.

The reason could be purely financial, ie. to save half of one's business (or all of it), retirement, home equity and other marital assets.

The risk to this is who dies first.

You can not stop a divorce though. YOu can delay it by contesting it. But that is not stopping it. If someone wants out of a marriage they will get out of the marriage eventually. It may take years but it will happen.

Shoot...they could go to NV where it only takes 6 weeks to establish residency, and get a divorce there for that matter.
