How do you file for a divorce when you live in Oklahoma and your spouse lives in Italy when he will not agree even though there are no children in the marriage?
The same process is used regardless of the whereabouts of the non filing spouse. The party wanting the divorce files the dissolution of marriage petition in their state and county of residence. Service to a spouse who is not living in the state where the divorce is filed is known as an edictal citation. If the whereabouts of the person is not known the filing party must prove to the court that they have made every possible attempt to find the person or a member of the person family (subsituted service). A spouse who refuses to respond when served with the dissolution summons, regardless of where they may be residing forfeits his or her right to contest the action. When the non filing spouse refuses to respond or cannot be found, the requesting spouse will be granted the divorce under the default laws of the state in which the petition is filed.

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.

You can get divorced in Illinois, or any other state, without your spouse signing any papers. You will have to post in a newspaper (any newspaper as long as its posted) that the divorce has been filed, that gives your spouse a chance to respond. If your spouse don't respond usually withing 30 days then the divorce is legal. Anyone living in Illinois filing for a divorce also has to meet the 90 day residency requirement. You have to be a resident of Illinois for 90 days before filing your petion for Dissolution of Marriage in Illinois. Illinois divorce laws and court system is very bias towards men. In Illinois get a good lawyer, perferably one referred to you through the Bar Association. That referal will cost maybe $20.00, but will save you allot of money in the end. At all the court sessions request that a court reporter always be present so every statements being made are legally documented and part of the divorce file. In Illinois that makes a huge difference.
