Joey Buttafuoco’s Wife Withdraws Divorce Petition
After filing for divorce on May 4th and prompting rumors that her husband was getting back with the Long Island Lolita, the wife of Joey Buttafuoco has withdrawn her divorce petition. Evanka Buttafuoco had filed for divorce the same day that Lou Bellera, the husband of Amy Fisher, did; thus adding more fuel to the speculative fire. Fisher made headlines as a teenager when she shot Joey Buttafuoco’s then-wife Mary Jo in the head. Fisher and Buttafuoco were having an affair at the time and were rumored to have been getting back together after they were photographed kissing in New York a couple of weeks back. A TV producer even recently pitched a reality show based on the 32-year-old Fisher and 51-year-old Buttafuoco moving in together (here’s hoping that idea got thrown to the back burner).
Yesterday, the 45-year-old Evanka Buttafuoco was granted a dismissal of her divorce petition from the family law clerk of the Los Angeles County Superior Court; an action which would seemingly put the “reunion” of Fisher and Joey on hold. But with the sordid history of these characters, you probably shouldn’t discount anything.

what the heck is a dismissal?
does it mean that the divorce is no longer in action?
and does one have to go to hearing for it to close?
