Can I still get a divorce without my wife's signature?

Answered by attorney Vincent D Sowerby (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Vincent D. Sowerby
If signatures were required from a spouse in order to get divorced, then that would give one spouse dominion over the other in perpetuity. Slavery was outlawed, so no. This is no different than forcing someone to a trial who denies any wrongdoing.

Can DES do a DNA test without my knowledge or consent?

William R. Pelger
Answered by attorney William R. Pelger
Divorce lawyer at Pelger Law
That's a complicated situation. You would have to file support enforcement proceedings against someone you have now remarried and share a home with? You really need to go to the Family Division, see a counselor and look at the file to learn what is actually going on. Or, hire a lawyer to do it for you. As far as the testing, the Family Division can do mouth swabs on a reputed father if paternity is an issue, but the story sounds suspicious to me. Normally, DNA testing is difficult to get retroactively, is generally done only by court order, and is usually initiated by one of the parties, not the Family Division.

See if you qualify for pro bono services. If you do not, the court clerk's office may have forms that you can use. You will have to do some investigation to find out where he may be.
