my husband says he's going to file for divorce as soon as he has the money...but I don't want a divorce....I am still trying to make him realize that there's still hope for us. I had heard that if one person doesn't want the divorce...and they tell the judge that then the judge can order counseling.???

Talk with your attorney. There may be something in your state that will help you. I know that in the state of KY if spouse is in jail for abuse of any kind they can be divorced and they aren't given a choice.

You most certainly can. In any state too. It's called a no-fault divorce. All you have to do is file, get a court date and serve the other spouse notice. Everyone shows up at that court date to say their peace and a temporary separation order is put into place for approximately three months, then you show up for your next court date and whaa haa, you are granted a divorce.
See, your spouse can contest it until the cows come home, it's not going to matter. They can drag out the process, but they can't stop it all together. If you are dead set on getting a divorce, don't waiver in front of the judge...stand your ground and you'll be just fine.

Yes, your husband will most likely be able to obtain a divorce even if you don't consent to it.
You should suggest to him kindly for some marriage counseling and let him know that a marriage is for better or for worse, till death do you part, and that if he really wants to be happy he should try and make it work. But, in order for it to work, both of you will have to compromise and help one another out.
If he doesn't want counseling or help and insists on divorce then he's going to get it one way or another, so you'll have to come to terms with that.

I do know that in the state of Oregon, if one party to the divorce doesn't answer within a certain amount of time after being served with divorce papers, then they default and the party that filed has the divorce granted to them. I don't know if that's how it is in every state, tho.
