How do you start a dissolution?
To obtain a dissolution or marriage divorce, one spouse must file a divorce petition, also called a petition for dissolution of marriage. The dissolution of marriage form varies by state, and can be found on your state court website.
What happens if no response to divorce papers?
The responding spouse needs to file an answer with the court within the deadline. When a spouse doesn’t respond to a divorce petition, the person who failed to file the answer to the court will lose his or her rights to make arguments about property division, support, and child custody.
What happens if my husband won’t sign the divorce papers?
The Court can grant a divorce order, even if the spouse refuses to sign any documents. Otherwise, the spouse may ask the Court to appear by telephone. While a spouse can refuse to sign the divorce papers, it is highly likely that the divorce will still take place. However, some situations could delay the divorce.
