How do you get a divorce with a letter from your spouse stating he wants the divorce but he won't show up for court?

The great part about an uncontested divorce (both parties agree) is that you can proceed with a divorce without a lawyer. You are able to represent yourself in court and save time and not to mention money. Your spouse won't need to show in court when using this company. If you file for the divorce, you will be the one finalizing it. Your spouse is served, he/she signs and you attend court to finalize the divorce.

What if spouse refuses to sign divorce papers in minnesota?

then your not divorced Or you should talk to your spouse about it if you guys really want to divorce or not. If the spouse does not want to accept the divorce papers,that spouse still cares for you. Then you should talk about getting back or settle things and talk to him/her about the divorce papers. If you do not care for your spouse then talk to that spouse gently and maturely about it If you are sure about the divorce but your spouse refuses to sign talk to a lawyer. in almost every state (if not every state) there is a way to get a divorce anyway it usually involves setting up a hearing. then they try to serve him/her the papers for the hearing if he/she does not respond within a certain period of time then the divorce is granted otherwise you might have a legal battle on your hands. However i believe in California it is not required to have your spouse sign the papers (do some research though to be sure) if that is true you might be able to go file for your divorce there however i still recommend talking to a lawyer about possible options where you live since its easier.
