No, a legally incompetent person cannot validly sign divorce papers. Incompetence typically refers to an individual's inability to understand the nature and consequences of their actions, including legal agreements. Divorce papers require the informed consent of both parties, and if one party is deemed incompetent, the court may appoint a guardian or advocate to represent their interests in the divorce process.
