Me and my wife have filed for divorce but haven't moved any further than that. The prothonotary sent a letter saying they would remove the case since it's been a couple of years. I got a continuance but that was only good for 90 days. Now, we need to go to pacourts.pa and get 2 forms that we need to both sign and return so the case won't be dismissed. The forms are the Affidavit of Consent and Waiver of Notice. We're not sure what box to check on the form. All we want to do is keep the case open until we can figure out a settlement. We both really can't afford an attorney right now. Can you help us with this?
