Yes. I am not sure which side of the divorce you are on from your question (the one not signing or the one wishing the other would sign) However, either way if a party to a divorce refuses to sign the divorce papers (or cannot be found or for some other reason) then you can still get a divorce by having a default judgment entered against you or the other party. The way that works is the appropriate papers are filed in court by one party and when the other party does not show the default judgment is entered and the divorce is close to being finalized. It is important to note that most states have a procedure through which a spouse who has been divorced by default can contest the divorce, in certain limited time.
