A.Hi,
No filing of a separate mutual divorce petition is needed. Court will consider converting the existing petition to mutual consent divorce petition. And in the next hearing depending upon the agreement between the parties, the court will pass an order of divorce if both the parties are present and agree to the consented order. Thank You
