Are you moving forward in spite of it?

They don't have to agree, but in many states, it can take 2 years or more to even begin a no-fault divorce if one party doesn't cooperate. If you are in a state like that, you just have to wait out the time.
By the way, that is 2 years of speration before you can file a no-fault divorce in some state. If you are living in the same house, the clock doesn't start until one of you moves out. If you are in that situation and he refuses to move, you are going to have to do so.

My future ex-wife took it as if I was playing with her for a few "years." After taking matters to the next step,moving out & finding someone else. With paperwork filed & asked to sign.At first she agreed but when she took a look at the papers and then refused to sign. Even with her not signing, papers are finnal in 2 years.

I haven't but my girlfriend has, her husband was disallowing it, but because she told the judge flat out she commited adultery it was done easily.
Her husband does anything he can to make her life miserable and succeeds quite often, so therefore I have an idea what you're going through. Ask a family lawyer what your options are. If divorce is truly what you desire, don't let anyone stand in your way of it

I did. Filed & ex warned me I'd never be rid of him...however, today I am divorced & couldn't be happier. I went thru some trying times, he didn't make it easy but like the 1st guy said...the judge has final say so & I've never heard of a divorce being denied, just drug out maybe.

I hate to say it, but, a divorce requires two lawyers. The first person to hire a laywer is the plaintiff. That is the one who has a complaint as to why the marriage won't work. Get a lawyer and good luck.

get your ducks in a row now, open an account in your name only, document all of your assets, things like that, and then serve him the papers, if thats what you want, he can try to contest the divorce but in the end it is not up to him. Be prepared for a bumpy ride.

This is not dark ages sweetie, if you don't want to be in a marriage, there is a divorce court. You don't have to commit an adultery in order to get a divorce LOL

My first husband tried that crap with me, but I served him divorce papers anyways. He said he would stand in court and refuse to let me divorce him. It does not work that way. He is an idiot.

It doesn't matter whether he agrees or not. Once one person decides the marriage is over, there isn't much the other can do except prolong the process. Go ahead and file.

They don't have to agree. It's up tp the judge to decide in the end.
