∙ 9y agoThe short answer is no, both parties do not have to sign divorce papers for the divorce to be legal. Every person has a right to divorce and your spouse cannot prevent you from exercising your right. As a matter of fact, you can get a divorce without the consent of your spouse in all 50 states.
Your best option is to file for a "no-fault" divorce. Filing a "no-fault" divorce will prevent your spouse from being able to contest any allegations based on a specified "fault" for the divorce. Not every state has fault based divorce options, but the good news is a "no-fault" divorce is available in all 50 states.
In many states, the courts have provided a divorce option that not only allows you to divorce without the consent or signature of your spouse, but do not even require your spouse to appear in court for the final judgment. Please check the specific laws of your state for further information.

How Can you get a divorce in the state of Kentucky if your husband lives out of state and refuses to sign divorce papers and says he will never sign the papers?
Answer What I know about divorce papers is that they require two signatures, one from you the other from your husband, and if he doesn't sign the divorce papers, it doesn't matter he is no longer in the State where you live, if he doesn't sign the papers you can't get your divorce. There is also common law marriages where two people can live together for as long as they want and divorced or not, you can still live with another man. There's no law against it.

How can your girlfriend find out if she is divorced?
People get married and divorced in different states so she has to know where the papers for the divorce were filed. Then she can go to the recordings office in the court house and see if papers have been filed. If she filed for divorce then she would have had to appear before a judge and have been issued a dissolution of marriage. If her ex filed he would have had to notify her of a proceeding, whether she chose to show up doesnt matter because a judge can grant a divorce that has been petitioned with out the party there. She should bring her marriage certificate if she has it, they may be able to crossreference the number of that with a divorce decree. Divorce records are public information and are filed in the state's vital records department in the state and county where the divorce was granted. Information can be found using only the names of the divorcing parties, but it is much simpler if the date the petition was filed, the county in which it was filed and so forth is available. FYI, it is not necessary for both parties to be present for a divorce to be granted. If the person served does not respond with agreement or contestation, the filing spouse can receive the divorce under the default laws of the state.
