Best Answer

Both parties do not have to agree to divorce. Only one spouse is required to prepare a divorce petition and file the paperwork with the court. Each state establishes its own grounds for divorce. These grounds may include voluntary separation, adultery, abandonment, abuse or incarceration. As long as you can establish that your situation fits one of your state's grounds for divorce, a judge may dissolve the marriage even if your spouse does not agree.

In most cases, yes. In some cases, if the divorce is uncontested, and the petitioner can show indigence (inability to pay costs), then the court may waive fees. Inability to pay can only be approved by the court.

Yes, the court will grant her a divorce no matter what you say. Hide as much money as you can or you will lose it!! Try to lose your job so she'll have to pay you alimony instead of the other way around. Seriously, otherwise they will steal half of what you will earn in the future.

Can I file for an uncontested divorce if I have been separated over 10 years but spouse won't agree to divorce?

An uncontested divorce is when both parties agree to getting a divorce. If one party doesn't agree, this would then become a contested divorce. You may need a lawyer to handle a contested divorce. If you are able to agree, you can do a divorce without a lawyer depending on your state laws.
