The divorce will still go through, just gonna take more time where she hasn't signed them. Call and ask to see what steps you need to take next. Good Luck... I've been through a divorce , I know how stressful it can be.

Some states set a time line in which she can "answer" the divorce motion. - Such as - complain back and defend what you said she did......etc.....
Those answers will be submitted to the courts and the Judge will see them, but seeing how she did....nothing.....she will have to go in and tell it to the Judge.
You will get a court date soon, go in tell your side and hopefully she will just agree to everything. If she doesn't, make sure your attorney tells the Judge that she never gave her rebuttal to the divorce motion. So pretty much - her boat came in - and it sailed with her sitting on the beach.
Good Luck!

The divorce can still go through without her signature... most states are 60 to 90 days on it though so check with your attorney or the local court clerk if it's a Do-It-Yourself divorce.

You go to court and get a default judgment of divorce. If a responsive pleading is not filed, all the allegations in the original petition for divorce must be taken as true and admitted.

You really dont have to do much. I mean if she got servered she has up to a certain day to find an attorney to respond to that letter. If not the divorce will still take its course just that if you all have property and items perchased together she really wont have much power of fighting them.

If she doesn't respond within the perscribed amount of time on the papers, the divorce is finalized without contest.

Talk to your lawyer and set the court date. If she doesn't show up .. no problem. Just be sure she was served the papers. Have proof that she received them. Good Luck ! :)

If you (or your attorney) have documentation that she received the papers, if she does not show up for the hearing you will receive a default judgment and be divorced!

take a default judgment granting you whatever relief you requested in the petition. the court will later grant your divorce after the expiration of the statutory period which varies by state (6 months in california)

you have to file the second set of documents (default) forms with the court as well as the proof of service form. you can get more info here: www.divorcepapers.com/default.html
