Can the Court Order Marriage Counseling?

Some state laws give judges the authority to order marriage counseling.

Following either state laws or common sense, judges usually order counseling only if they think there is a chance it will succeed.

Some states do not have laws permitting judges to order counseling.

In states where the judge may order counseling, the judge often delays the divorce proceeding for a month or two during the counseling period.
