What happens if my spouse won’t cooperate, wants to reconcile, or refuses to sign divorce papers?

As long as one party wants the divorce, Massachusetts will allow divorce on the grounds of irreconcilable differences. Because of this legal provision, it is procedurally not possible for one party to prevent the divorce from eventually occurring – even without cooperation or participation from the other spouse. If it is a contested divorce situation, it is important to keep in mind that it will take longer, become more expensive, and will present certain challenges procedurally. However, a divorce generally cannot be stopped even by a highly resistant spouse.

It is best to consult with an qualified attorney like the ones at Wright Family Law Group in if your spouse is refusing to communicate or not willing to cooperate with your divorce situation. Contact us today at 978-773-9260 or contact us online to book a free Discovery Call.
