I have been separated from my husband since April 18, 2009. He sexually abused me for over a year when we were married. I want a divorce, but he says he won't sign papers. What am I to do?

Either you can if its in the original divorce complaint get a divorce on the grounds of 2 years separation. Though you can not get that until April 18, 2011. If you had an indignities claim in your divorce you could force that to go to trial,

If those grounds are not in your original divorce complaint. You'll have to make a motion to file an amended complaint.
