If the respondent is served, that is proof to the court that he or she has been informed of the court action. In a number of states, the person who serves the respondent only needs to touch the respondent with the piece of paper. Your lawyer can explain the procedure to you.
It is possible to sue for divorce, and if the judge agrees that you have sufficient grounds for divorce, the divorce will be granted, whether the other party signs the papers or not.
Nope... Sorry .
Yes
If a respondent chooses not to sign a document, it may indicate that they do not agree with its contents or are not willing to be legally bound by it. In some cases, their refusal to sign may also prevent the document from being implemented or enforced as intended.
If your spouse refuses to sign a divorce decree you will still have to go in front of the judge but he will most likely sign off on it and give you everything you want. This is because the respondent is not willing to cooperate.
Yes he can get divorced, but you are going to need a lawyer.
Generally the courts allow for public service. This is used if the respondent can not be located.
If she agreed to sign it, she still has to. The ex husband's heirs can enforce the agreement on behalf of his estate.
If they refuse, and does not appeal, ile a motion for a default order.
No. You are legally divorced the moment the judge signs the document.
Yes, your wife has to sign divorce papers to legally get divorced in any state.
If the respondent still lives here.
Yes, it depends on how dirty the other person's lawyer is. No contract is ironclad.
No he is not divorced. He is still married as of October 1st 2008.
