Good Afternoon,Customer

Thank you for choosing JustAnswer,

I cannot see any drawbacks for you if you withdrew your Complaint in Divorce, other than not being free to remarry, yet.

If neither you, nor your wife pursued the divorce, the Court will consider it a dormant file and close the file after a certain amount of time, most states will close dormant files if ther is no activity in 2 years.

The Court would want to relinquish jurisdiction because neither party to the divorce action is a Florida resident anymore..

If you leave it open, you never know, your wife can very easily travel from North Carolina to Florida, not give the Court your new address, get what she wants out of the divorce and then you will be stuck with the headache of reopening the Florida Divorce Decree.

So, I reaffirm my position that there are no drawbacks to your withdrawing your Petition or Complain in Divorce, other than having to pay another filing fee to commence the action in California.

I hope this has answered your question. If you have questions in the future, please feel free to ask for me. You can do so by putting my name at the beginning of your question.
