It varies from person to person and depends if there are children, properties or a substantial amount of money involved. In British Columbia, Canada, once you have been separated from your spouse for 7 years you can request a divorce document (as long as you have not had anything to do with your ex.) You can also have your lawyer push for the divorce. If you have a lawyer it sounds as if he/she is not doing their job well. If you don't have a lawyer I suggest you get one. I tried getting a divorce the easy way from my ex, but he was doing the same thing your husband is doing (just being nasty) and I had to get a lawyer and even at that it took me 2 years to get that divorce.

Do you have to wait for an incarcerated spouse to sign divorce papers. Do they have the right to refuse?

I believe you can file for divorce and put a time limit on the signing of the papers and if that isn't done within the time then you can have a judge grant you a divorce. I think you also have to place and ad in the paper stating that you have filed for this type of divorce to make the notice public. Get your phone book out and call a few attorneys in the book, even there secretaries can answer this question for you for what statutes are in your state. Look for ones that will give you free consultations. I don't think they have the right to refuse, no one can force you to stay married to them.


Is there a statute of limitation on divorce my husband has remarried and i never rec'd divorce papers or divorce petition?

If you cannot be found or if you refuse to respond to a petition for divorce, that cannot prevent your spouse from obtaining a divorce. The important signature on a divorce decree is that of the judge. You should contact the court where the divorce was obtained and order a copy of the divorce decree. If you go in person, you can request to see the file and review the contents.

Yes, you can, but if one person wants a divorce, it can be made to happen. The refusal of one person to be divorced will not stop the process, as the other party and the court will proceed and the divorce will be granted.

You can still get a divorce when your spouse refuses or cannot be found to sign the papers. Within a few weeks the served spouse must answer whether he or she agrees with the complaint. By default in many states, a failure to answer the complaint is viewed as an agreement to its terms.
