A spouse can refuse to sign the divorce papers for as long as they wish but that does not mean that they wont get divorced. The court simply will not keep a party to a marriage in the marriage arrangement if they do not want to be in it anymore. What happens in these circumstances is that you must attempt to serve the other party (sounds like you have done that) and proceed as if they did and a default divorce judgment will be entered and you will be divorced.

Depends upon what the divorce papers were. If it was the final decree and the state in which the divorce was granted does not have a waiting period for the involved parties to remarry, then the second marriage is legal. However if the above does not apply then the involved parties should consult with an attorney as to the proper procedures to clear up the matter.
