What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
My mother in-law is currently dealing with terminal lung cancer (only 48yrs old) and does not have much time left. We recently found out that her divorce that she started 2/15/06 was never finalized. We started the process again, using the same papers from before and her husband signed them, we just sent them to court and they rejected them stating it's been 3 years since they were first drawn up they want the process started from scratch. Can they do that?? Is there a time limit?? Our attorney just said we have to start over. Is there anything else than can be done?? She even said that she just wants to be divorced before she passes. Any help is greatly appreciated.
