“The judgment
of divorce from the bonds of matrimony may be revoked at any time by the court
which granted it, under such regulations and restrictions it may deem proper to
impose, upon the joint application of the parties, and upon the production of
satisfactory evidence of their reconciliation.”
This is essentially the un-divorce statute as I like to call it which allows a couple to revoke their divorce if they reconcile. This statute is helpful for a number of reasons with clients who have certain religious beliefs regarding divorce and remarriage. The interesting part of the statute to me is that no one seems to know what satisfactory proof as referenced in the statute is. This could be anything from just the sworn pleadings of the parties to the necessity of full blown proof and testimony.
