Re: divorce
You don't need his signature to obtain a divorce from him in New York State. What you should have is a lawyer who won't make the mistake of sending him papers when the chances are he would not sign.
Every county in every state has a civil process deputy in the Police Department who will serve him for a nominal cost. This gives the court jurisdiction to grant a divorce.

You may be able to move forward with the divorce if your spouse was legally served, he refuses to sign, and more than 40 days has passed.
