How do you file for divorce if you live in the US and your spouse lives in Bermuda?

Tell your spouse to come to the US, or send him the papers.


How does a person file for divorce if they live in France and their spouse lives in the United States?

In most countries it is usually the same process. You must file for divorce in France and they will require that you serve them with the divorce papers and this is accomplished with your spouses signature as proof that he received the divorce papers. One thing...It DOES NOT have to be his/her signature as receiving the papers. For example if it is sent to where your spouse works any signature will do as it is understood that your spouse was the final recipient of the divorce papers. If his personal or business address is NOT KNOWN then you will be required to publish in the last city where your spouse was known to live or you believe he/she is living an article stating that you have filed for divorce. In the USA it is usually a 4-6 month process. It may vary in France.

How can you get a divorce in the state of Alabama if your spouse refuses to sign the divorce papers?

If your spouse will sign divorce papers, you can get a divorce in Alabama more easily, more quickly, and without paying as much money. It's possible that if you and your spouse are able to talk openly and honestly with each other, you'll be able to reach agreement on terms of a divorce and both sign the papers. But that's not what you asked, is it? If your spouse just refuses to sign anything or talk about divorce, and if you know where he or she lives, you have no choice but to file for divorce and get service of process on your spouse. This will trigger a requirement that your spouse file an answer within 30 days of having been served. If your spouse fails to answer, you can file an application with the clerk to have your spouse declared in default. The court will set a hearing at which you will appear and give testimony, and soon after that the court will issue a divorce decree. If your spouse DOES file an answer, you and your spouse will have entered an adversarial divorce, in which you and your spouse each maneuver for advantage and to acquire the information you need to present your case in a divorce trial. Most adversarial divorces don't actually get to a trial. Most get resolved before that in negotiation (the same kind of negotiation you and your spouse could do now for free if you both could be cooperative). It's hard to say how long an adversarial divorce would take or how much it would cost, because it depends so much on your lawyers and the positions each of you takes as you negotiate with each other.
