Re: Divorce
A judge can't make you sign anything. He or she can grant a default judgment if you don't answer the complaint. A judge can also make equitable divisions of assets and liabilities, make decisions concerning parenting and the like. A judge will usually not do this if the parties can come to an agreement.
