You don't need your mates permission to get a divorce. See a lawyer, and take it to court. Most of the time you don't even have to turn up. Good luck Marcy In the U.S. when a spouse does not wish to co-operate in the divorce proceedings such as the signing of court papers and responding to the summons, the filing spouse (or their attorney) must file a Motion to Default. The MD papers will be served on the non-respondent spouse and if said person does not show up on the court date, the filing spouse will be granted the divorce and the absentee spouse will forfeit any right to contest terms stated in the original dissolution papers. The filing spouse must appear at the hearing to answer questions from the presiding judge.

It depend upon the circumstances. In most states the law only requires that a reasonable effort has been made to contact the defendant. The serving of a summons can be through regular postal service, courier or a process server.

Usually, but if the one seeking the divorce doesn't know where the other spouse is you can post your papers on the courthouse door for thirty (30) days. After the thirty days, you can continue the proceedings. It is free to post the papers, but your attorney will charge you for the correct posting.

When papers are first filed, no, not unless the presiding judge were to order it, and he would not likely do so unless one of the parties motioned for it.

Once the divorce is final, it would depend on the terms of the divorce agreement and who is going to end up with the house (it may have to be sold and the proceeds divided) or the mortgage. It is likely that if both parties continue to live under the same roof, things could get very acrimonious so from a practical viewpoint it would b best if the partner that is not going to end up living in the house moves out.

I've personally known only one couple who continued to occupy the same home after the divorce was final, and they remain friends to this day (about ten years after the fact). Theirs is a very big house.

You continue with the divorce proceeding. A spouse who refuses to sign the divorce papers can delay the proceedings by making it take longer but they cannot prevent the divorce.

Well, if your were marrying the 2 then you'll need the first. and then if divorced the 2 then you'll need the proof so legally you still don't have to pay their bills.

Continue the process. He cannot stop the divorce. Visit the court and ask to speak to an advocate (or speak with your attorney). Generally, the court will allow the notice to be published in the local newspaper when the other party won't cooperate or cannot be found.

30 days in some states

Sure

The papers then will be return to the sheriff department on which you requested the service. After that they will try to serve your spouse once again but if they are unavailable to do so, your divorce summons are posible to go back to a pile of files. Remember you are not the only one requesting this service. Also the most important thing here is that you are the requesting party and you have to try to do every possible effort to get the cooperation of your spouse. The sheriff can only try to deliver the papers for you instead of doing it in person.

Now things would really complicate if your spouse is out of state or in prison, then for example if the inmate is housed at the liberty correctional prison, and the offense happen at the orange county then the orange county clerk's office should coordinate with the liberty county clerk of court's to have the Liberty county sheriff's office serve your spouse with his divorce paperwork.

Yes. A judge decides whether or not a divorce will be granted, a spouse does not. The fact that your spouse will not sign a piece of paper has no bearing on the issue. The fact that your spouse has retained a lawyer has nothing to do with it. The lawyer represents your spouse's interests. The lawyer is there to take you to the cleaners.

YES

Yes you can. You must be able to prove that your spouse knows that you have filed for divorce.

Then you must wait 60 days for the other party to file an answer with the court. If they do not, then the divorce can be obtained on uncontested grounds.

That is dependent on the rules and regulation on service by the court of jurisdiction.
