ga divorce law
according to ga divorce law if a person sends papers to the spouse to sign and they receive them, but do not sign them within 30 days, can the person requesting the non-contested divorce proceed without the spouses signature?

No. A person has no obligation to agree to amn uncontested divorce. An unsigned agreement cannot be filed with the court. In such a case you would have to serve a person by sheriff with a summons and complaint, which is generally the start of a contested divorce. (If unanswered and there are no issues of property and children and debts, the case may, in some counties, be handled as an uncontested case).

No, not as an uncontested matter, however they can proceed under a contested matter.
