The six month waiting waiting period is called the nisi period. Reconciliation with one's spouse is not an exception to the rule it a reason for the rule. A divorce decree nisi isn't final until the nisi period has expired. There are legal consequences for certain events that may occur during the nisi period. Its purpose is to give the parties a chance to change their minds before the divorce becomes final or/and for completion of certain arrangements pursuant to the divorce decree.
In the case of a reconciliation, the parties can file a motion to dismiss and the judgment will be extinguished. There have been many cases in which this happened. A party cannot remarry during the NISI period and there are important aspects regarding inheritance in the event of death.
At the end of the nisi period the judgment automatically becomes final and the marriage is legally dissolved. If one party dies during the nisi period the other inherits as the surviving spouse. The nisi period has its roots in English Common Law.
