Hi

Your question as to the process of divorce is too broad to answer here in a few sentences. You can familiarize yourself with the resources and articles here on the site to get a much better idea of the divorce process though. Do you need a spouse's signature before you can get divorced? No, you do not. You are required to attempt to notify your spouse when filing for divorce, but there are numerous cases where a spouse cannot be located at all. Every state has a procedure in place to handle situations like abandonment of the marriage, where the remaining spouse handles the entire divorce by themselves. You can get divorced without your spouse's signature. - The Divorce.com Team Wendy Jaffe and Divorce.com can only provide general information about divorce. DO NOT RELY ON MS. JAFFE'S ADVICE ALONE.
