It varies from person to person and depends if there are children, properties or a substantial amount of money involved. In British Columbia, Canada, once you have been separated from your spouse for 7 years you can request a divorce document (as long as you have not had anything to do with your ex.) You can also have your lawyer push for the divorce. If you have a lawyer it sounds as if he/she is not doing their job well. If you don't have a lawyer I suggest you get one. I tried getting a divorce the easy way from my ex, but he was doing the same thing your husband is doing (just being nasty) and I had to get a lawyer and even at that it took me 2 years to get that divorce.

∙ 12y agoIf your spouse refuses to sign the agreement that you have proposed, he/she may propose an alternate agreement, or may refuse. If the two of you cannot reach an agreement on your own, you may have to attend court ordered mediation.
If you still cannot reach an agreement, you will have a trial. You will have to wait for the court to set a trial date. Depending on the area, how busy they are, and any state waiting periods, you may get a trial date anywhere from 3 months to 3 years after initially filing.

An old saying comes to mind ... You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

∙ 14y agoThis answer depends on the state that you are located in. Most states have some waiting period between when the divorce is filed and when it will be finalized. For example, in California there is a 6-month waiting period, Florida has a 20 day waiting period, Texas has a 60 day waiting period, and New York has a 30 day waiting period. It also depends on porperty settelments that could make divorce last a little longer.

Do you have to wait for an incarcerated spouse to sign divorce papers. Do they have the right to refuse?
I believe you can file for divorce and put a time limit on the signing of the papers and if that isn't done within the time then you can have a judge grant you a divorce. I think you also have to place and ad in the paper stating that you have filed for this type of divorce to make the notice public. Get your phone book out and call a few attorneys in the book, even there secretaries can answer this question for you for what statutes are in your state. Look for ones that will give you free consultations. I don't think they have the right to refuse, no one can force you to stay married to them.

If you cannot be found or if you refuse to respond to a petition for divorce, that cannot prevent your spouse from obtaining a divorce.

If you go in person, you can request to see the file and review the contents.
