What if They Won’t Sign? Can They Be Served?
Going through a divorce is tough enough — but what happens if your spouse refuses to sign the divorce papers? In New York, an uncontested divorce requires both parties to agree and sign the necessary documents. If your spouse is uncooperative, you’ll need to take extra steps to move forward.
When Does My Spouse Need to Be Served Divorce Papers?
“Service of process” means officially delivering divorce papers to your spouse so they know about the case and can respond. Without proper service, the court can’t proceed. If your spouse won’t sign voluntarily, you must have the documents formally served to them.
How Does Service Work in New York?
In New York, divorce papers can be served by:
-
A professional process server
-
A sheriff or marshal
-
Any adult who is not involved in the case
Once served, your spouse has a specific time to respond or the court may grant a default judgment if they ignore it.
What If My Spouse Is Difficult to Serve?
If your spouse is avoiding service or hard to find, you might need to hire a professional to track them down and serve papers properly. Failing to serve correctly can delay your divorce or even cause dismissal.
