The papers then will be return to the sheriff department on which you requested the service. After that they will try to serve your spouse once again but if they are unavailable to do so, your divorce summons are posible to go back to a pile of files. Remember you are not the only one requesting this service. Also the most important thing here is that you are the requesting party and you have to try to do every possible effort to get the cooperation of your spouse. The sheriff can only try to deliver the papers for you instead of doing it in person.
Now things would really complicate if your spouse is out of state or in prison, then for example if the inmate is housed at the liberty correctional prison, and the offense happen at the orange county then the orange county clerk's office should coordinate with the liberty county clerk of court's to have the Liberty county sheriff's office serve your spouse with his divorce paperwork.

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.
