A lawyer can use a motion to dismiss during a hearing for a number of reasons. One of the reasons a lawyer can use a motion to dismiss during the hearing is if the plaintiff (the person who brings the suit to court) fails to present a valid and legal claim for the case.

A lawyer can use a motion to dismiss during a hearing if they believe that the case lacks legal merit, there are procedural defects, or there is insufficient evidence to support the claims being made. This motion asks the judge to dismiss some or all of the charges against the defendant.

NO. A lawyer cannot "dismiss" a case. A judge does that. However a lawyer may request dismissal or be empowered to accept a dismissal on behalf of their client. Although many lawyers put cases on the back burner, forget about them and do not ever notify the client, they should notify the client when they have decided to not continue working on the case.

This just means that the petitioner, I am assuming is the Plaintiff, she has asked to dismiss the divorce case. Your attorney would be able to explain to you whether she wants to dismiss the entire case and try to make the marriage work, or she just wants to dismiss one of her terms. Consult with an attorney.
