A: I assume you just live in Nevada and your son lives in California. Under California law, the other spouse does not have to sign any "papers". One spouse can absolutely get a divorce done entirely on their own.

If I'm wrong and your son lives in Nevada, then I have no idea what Nevada law requires.
