No. When you "file" for anything, including a divorce, what you are doing is making a written complaint or petition to the court to begin the process of examining the issues and determining the rights and obligations between the involved parties, in order that the court may be able to make decisions that will eventually resolve those issues, rights and obligations. A Judgement IS the decision. In other words, FILING is asking that a decision be made. A JUDGEMENT is that decision.

If a person is getting a divorce and children are involved can a divorce be not granted or put off if one party doesnt want to sign divorce for counseling?

In Alabama, even if one party does not want the divorce to proceed, the other party can still get the divorce granted by filing for a default judgment. Since children are involved, I would not let the divorce get to this stage. At a default judgment hearing, the party requesting will more than likely be granted most of what they request while you are left out in the cold.
