HOW CAN I GET A DIVORCE IF MY HUSBAND WON’T FOLLOW THROUGH WITH ANY OF THE REQUIREMENTS?

QUESTION: My husband refuses to sign the divorce papers, he won’t go to the classes, and he won’t do anything else that is required for our divorce. How can I get a divorce under these circumstances?

MY RESPONSE: Have your husband personally served with the divorce papers by somebody other than you over the age of 18, and have the server complete, sign and date a proof of personal service, and file the original of that proof of service with the Court Clerk. If your husband doesn't file and serve his Response on you within 30 days of the date that he was personally served, you can proceed to request that the Court enter his default, and when entered, you can proceed to get a default hearing to get the divorce completed. You would best retain an experienced Family Law Attorney to represent you and handle your divorce, since the documents and requirements to accomplish your goal are fairly complex.
