Do both spouses have to sign papers for the divorce to be granted?
It depends on the type of divorce. In any type of divorce, the spouse must sign for their certified mail to prove to the court that they were served with a complaint. In a mutual consent divorce, both parties must sign papers after the 90 day waiting period and they are filed with the court. In a “separation” no-fault divorce, the responding spouse does not need to sign anything after the certified mail is received by him or her if they agree to the two year separation.
