QUESTION: I don't have a lawyer yet, but I know my husband won't sign the divorce papers and doesn't want to get a divorce. What can I do?
MY RESPONSE: If you hire an experienced divorce lawyer, your lawyer will know what to do to get you a divorce if your husband doesn't sign divorce papers. Your husband doesn't need to sign anything to be served; all that needs to be done is personal service of the Summons and Petition on your husband by a process server. Divorce is granted in California where irreconcilable differences have arisen between the parties, leading to an irremediable breakdown of the marriage. You and your husband have irreconcilable differences: you want a divorce and he doesn't. If your husband does not file (or timely file) a Response to the Petition, your family law attorney can file a request to enter your husband's default, and once his default is entered, your lawyer can proceed to get you a divorce without your husband's participation in the divorce case.
