What if Your Spouse Won't Sign? Can You Still Get a NY Uncontested Divorce?

by David Centeno on January 11, 2010

What if your spouse won’t sign his or her divorce papers?  Are you unable to get a divorce in New York?  What about an uncontested divorce?

The answer is that even if your spouse refuses to sign there are ways to still get divorced in New York.  You may also still attempt to get an uncontested divorce…

The trick is to have your spouse personally served. This is just a fancy way of saying that you can hire a process server for a small fee to personally deliver the papers to your spouse. The process server will sign an affidavit swearing that your spouse received the divorce documents. Then if your soon-to-be ex doesn’t reply, you can move forward with your divorce without his or her consent.

Clients love this trick, hopefully you do too…
