What happens if spouse refuses to sign divorce paper in the state of AR?
Although that can make an already difficult process more difficult, you can still get a divorce. Courts simply are not going to keep you in a "contract" that you want to get out of. You need to show the court that you used due dilligence to serve the other party and that their refusal to sign the papers is no fault of your own. After the court is satisfied with this showing, you can proceed with the divorce as if they had signed the divorce and a default divorce will be entered and you will in fact be divorced.
Should I contest a divorce in a no fault state?
Generally not a good idea to let the court hear only one side of the case.

Best to have a settlement agreement signed and filed so you know what the outcome is rather than hoping everything will be okay. By the way, I'm a divorce attorney in California.
Do federal courts have jurisdiction over divorce cases?
