What can I do if Spouse refuses to sign divorce papers?

Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Answered by attorney Monica H. Donaldson Stewart
Divorce lawyer at Donaldson Stewart, P.C.
He does not have to sign paperwork for you to file for divorce. Once you have filed and served him with the paperwork, he has an opportunity to respond if he disagrees with anything you've requested. If he does not respond within the time permitted by law, you can ask the court to proceed by default (e.g. without his participation). If he does respond within the time and challenges anything you've requested, you can try to settle the case and if that does not work, you can ask the court to schedule a trial so the issues can decided and the divorce granted. I recommend you consult with an attorney to discuss this matter in greater detail.

Hired an attorney for $3,000, but had me sign a paer that he quickly went over stating fees such as $350 an hour. He said the $3,000 was up to court.

You should call the attorney or go by and request a copy of the document you signed. When did you hire the attorney? Do you have a court date set? Has the attorney or his staff been in touch with you?

If I am paying all the bills, she has a car I pay for, can she demand the house if she left for another man?

Now pay careful attention to the answer I am about to give you yes, she can ask the court to award her the house. She can ask for anything she wants, no matter how ludicrous. Whether the court will award her the house is another matter. And, believe it or not, the fact that she left you for another man will probably not factor much in to the decision regarding who is awarded the house. Talk to a good divorce lawyer about your situation in detail. It's worth the effort and the expense.
