Q: Can I get a divorce when my husband want sign
A:
Yes. You can still get a divorce. It will just require a few extra steps if he won’t sign off on the paperwork.
A lawyer can help you ask the Judge to make him pay your attorney fees if he’s holding up the process for no good reason.
A: You only need a spouse to sign certain documents in an uncontested divorce. If your spouse refuses to sign the necessary paperwork, then you have a contested divorce. But you do not have to remain married if you don’t want too. Hire an attorney and have them file the necessary documents to start your contested divorce. They will then have your spouse served and the divorce will move forward. Even if the other party doesn’t respond to the documents or appear in court, that will not stop the court from ultimately giving you a divorce.
