You simply proceed with your divorce action. Your spouse cannot force you to stay married by contesting it in the United States. You will eventually have a hearing before a judge scheduled, the judge will hear both sides, divide marital property and assess child support if necessary, and the divorce will be granted.

If it will be an 'un-contested' divorce (she is not objecting to it) file a divorce petition with the Clerk of The Court. If it will be contested (she doesn't want it) OR there is children, property, or money involved you'd best retain an attorney to help you navigate the system.

If men are going through a separation or divorce why do they still refer to their exes as their wives?

A Separation is not a divorce and you are still legally married. "Getting" a divorce, you are still married until the law tells you otherwise and papers are signed. I usually hear "ex wife" or "ex husband" and that just means the couple don't live together and could mean they are just separated or are getting a divorce. Some men may refer to their ex wife as "wife" out of habit.

What does it mean when a divorce is contested?

one of the parties of the divorce doesnt agree with what is going on and is wanting something else to happenI am sure you mean "Contested" divorce. A contested divorce can mean 2 different things.1. Contested divorce can describe a divorce where one party is arguing the other doesn't have grounds for divorce and attempts to prevent the divorce; therefore, the divorce, itself, is being contested.2. More commonly though, the term is used to describe the divorce process where both parties want the divorce but can't agree on issues like child custody, child and spousal support and equal distribution of the marital assets.
