You can get divorced in Illinois, or any other state, without your spouse signing any papers. You will have to post in a newspaper (any newspaper as long as its posted) that the divorce has been filed, that gives your spouse a chance to respond. If your spouse don't respond usually withing 30 days then the divorce is legal. Anyone living in Illinois filing for a divorce also has to meet the 90 day residency requirement. You have to be a resident of Illinois for 90 days before filing your petion for Dissolution of Marriage in Illinois. Illinois divorce laws and court system is very bias towards men. In Illinois get a good lawyer, perferably one referred to you through the Bar Association. That referal will cost maybe $20.00, but will save you allot of money in the end. At all the court sessions request that a court reporter always be present so every statements being made are legally documented and part of the divorce file. In Illinois that makes a huge difference.

∙ 13y agoNo. If your spouse refuses to sign divorce papers, or file an answer with the court contesting the divorce, then you can still obtain the divorce. The process becomes a bit more complicated, though. You must be able to prove that your spouse knows that you have filed for divorce. Have them served with divorce papers, or some states will allow you to publish that you have petitioned for divorce-by taking out an ad in a local paper or posting notice at the courthouse. Then you must wait a predetermined amount of time for your spouse to answer. If they do not, then you receive an uncontested divorce. Call your local county clerks office for information on publishing.
