A spouse that does not sign divorce papers will get a default judgment entered against them and the divorce will still happen. You can however contest the default judgment if the court allows you to do so and thinks you have a good reason why you did not sign the papers.
States like to give those individuals that, for whatever reason, were unable to attend the divorce proceeding. That being said, there is typically a certain amount of time after the default judgment has been entered that you will have to contest the divorce by showing good cause why you did not attend the divorce proceeding.

What is next after notice of default is entered
You have the ability to contest a default divorce entered against you provided you can show good cause for why it was entered against you in the first place. Generally, the spouse who wants to contest the default divorce has a certain amount of time to do so - in most states it is around one year. The spouse must also show good cause for not appearing at trial in the first place. States vary as to what constitutes "good cause" but generally, being physically unable to appear (for medical or other reasons) would suffice. In some states, fleeing a marriage to escape domestic abuse constitutes good cause to re-open a default divorce, as well. Serving in the military overseas, or in extended training, would also constitute good cause.
Yes. I am not sure which side of the divorce you are on from your question (the one not signing or the one wishing the other would sign) However, either way if a party to a divorce refuses to sign the divorce papers (or cannot be found or for some other reason) then you can still get a divorce by having a default judgment entered against you or the other party. The way that works is the appropriate papers are filed in court by one party and when the other party does not show the default judgment is entered and the divorce is close to being finalized. It is important to note that most states have a procedure through which a spouse who has been divorced by default can contest the divorce, in certain limited time.
A divorce decree entered means that the conditions and date of divorce are entered into the court record. It is now a matter of public record and official.
There is a process that has to be followed in court cases like this. If someone cannot be served papers, there is "public notification" that can be published in the local newspapers and the court will mail a notice to the last known address. If there is no response at the scheduled hearing, the court can allow the case to proceed. The first order of the case is too see if the proper procedure was followed. If it was then the court can rule that a default exists and the divorce is granted. One of the parties has to be present and a judgment will be entered into the court records. If the court granted a divorce then the answer is yes. You are legally divorced. You can contact the court and request a copy of the decree.
yes it can, i did it before and just make it sound smooth like it doesnt stand out and someone will think it is wrong
you only had 30 day to respond. Most likely a default order of divorce was entered.
Actually, the term you are referring to is "default value." A default value is the preset value that appears in a field when no other value has been selected or entered by the user.
When you are going through the process of divorce, it is not finalized until a judgment is approved and entered by the court. The Entry of Judgment gives you a date of divorce, and means your divorce is final. Even when the divorce is final, you can file for Modification if you meet the legal standards.
