Um... "dismissed"? What does that mean, exactly?

If you're asking if you could file for divorce, and the state could decide "No, there's some technical error with this paperwork, no divorce for you" and that for some reason you might fail to be notified of this... maybe you moved, maybe among the errors was that you put the wrong address on the paperwork, something... yes, that's possible. You would probably begin to suspect something was wrong as time went on and you still hadn't gotten the final papers, but there could potentially be some unspecified period of time when you thought things were moving along but they actually weren't.

If you're saying that you got divorced, and got the paperwork to prove it, and then later the state decided to somehow cancel the divorce so that you're actually still married... no, legally that can't happen.

Another Perspective

A divorce case may be dismissed under court rules in most jurisdictions for lack of any activity or for lack of jurisdiction. In Arizona, for example, a case can be dismissed after 120 days of inactivity. In that case the court will send a notice of dismissal to the last known address of the parties. In other jurisdictions a case may be dismissed after years of inactivity.
