I don't know how it works it your state, but it only takes one person to get a divorce in mine
once she files paperwork, you are served & provide an 'answer' and then 90 days later a court date is set (usualy 3-6 months down the road_)..
at that court date, if you & your spouse have not reached an agreement, then the judge will decide property settlement, child custody, child support, etc.. but at the end of the court date.. you are effectively divorced.
it will take longer if you don't "go along" but at some point, the one party can get the D papers.. with or without your signature.
Good luck & peace Bridge

Taking the road less traveled because those encountered on the way may be just as unique.
