Consider mediation. A mediator will help you and your wife work through issues that caused problems in the first place. Even if you do decide to divorce a mediated settlement will almost always be cheaper (and probably better) than litigation. Good mediators can usually achieve success even under extreme circumstances - child abuse, substance abuse or domestic violence.

Yes, you would need to divorce the second spouse because the first marriage is still legally valid. Since the first spouse never signed the divorce papers, you are still married to them, making the second marriage invalid under most legal systems. To resolve the situation, you should seek a divorce from the first spouse to legally end that marriage before considering your options regarding the second marriage.

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.
