You are not required to get his signature on anything in order to get a divorce. Instead, you are merely required to serve him with notice of the divorce case and notice of the hearing, but there are specific steps that must be carefully followed in doing so. If he is located outside of the US, the process is typically more complicated and more expensive.

These are complex issues, and it is important that they be handled correctly. Therefore, it is important that you consult an experienced family law attorney to find out what options are available to you based on the facts of your particular case. If you need more information, you can visit my family law blog (www.SCFamilyLaw.com) or our website (www.StevensFirm.com). I wish you the best of luck.
