Best Answer

A dismissal for want of persecution occurs in a divorce case when a plaintiff does not show up for a scheduled hearing. The motion is dismissed rather than assuming the plaintiff wanted to finalize the divorce.

It means that a person was charged with a crime, and when they appeared ready to go forward, the prosecution was not able to. Usually, this is because the state's witness or other evidence is not available. The Defendant can make a motion to dismiss, and the Judge may grant it.

No. The divorce case must be carried through to a judgment and decree in order for you to become legally divorced.
