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.
