Re: pro se divorce
Under these facts with a defendant party who apparently is not cooperating, the matter should be treated as a contested divorce, making sure that the defendant has been properly served with all required documents and notices, and, if so, then you should be able to request an Ore Tenus hearing and the entry of a default decree of divorce.
