If your divorce did not go through because your husband claimed he did not know what he signed, you may need to consult with a lawyer to determine the next steps. Depending on the circumstances and the laws in your jurisdiction, you may need to resubmit the divorce paperwork or address any legal challenges that arise from your husband's claim of not understanding the documents he signed.

Contact your local bar association or legal aid society to see if they can provide assistance or refer you to someone who can help you.

Can a spouse challenge no fault divorce papers?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In some cases, a spouse may be able to challenge no fault divorce papers if they believe there are issues with jurisdiction, fraud, or coercion involved. However, it is generally difficult to successfully challenge a no fault divorce as the standard for granting such divorces is often low, and the focus is on the irrevocable breakdown of the marriage rather than fault or wrongdoing. It is best to consult with a lawyer for advice specific to your situation.

Can the military make you divorce your spouse?

User Avatar

Asked by Adb6250

Of course. Actually filing for a divorce may be more difficult than if done under civilian conditions, because of the geographical obstacles. Jurisdiction or residency requirements for divorce, child support, and custody are usually determined by where you permanently reside and not where you are stationed. As is to be expected, once the non-military spouse is divorced, they will no longer be entitled to military housing, healthcare, etc.

When a Spouse Does Not Sign Divorce Papers

When a spouse refuses to sign divorce papers, the spouse seeking a divorce will need to obtain what is called a contested divorce. To file a contested divorce, the party who wishes to obtain the divorce must file a petition in the family court in their jurisdiction.

Only the spouse who is filing for the divorce must sign, however, the spouse requesting the divorce usually must serve the other spouse with process. Service of process means that the other spouse is given notice that they have been sued. In a divorce situation, serving the other spouse with process means that the other spouse is notified that their spouse has filed for divorce and given a chance to appear.

Contested Divorce

Modernly, courts have moved past the traditional requirements of finding cause for a divorce. In fact, every court offers no-fault divorce. However, even a no-fault divorce can end in one of two ways, it can be contested or uncontested.

When a spouse refuses to sign divorce papers, the divorce is no longer placed on hold, but instead considered contested. Once the divorce becomes contested, a hearing must take place in order to establish the reasons for contesting the divorce and for the court to resolve those reasons.

If both spouses show for the hearing, the court will determine the legal terms of the divorce through testimony and evidence. The court will also decide on all settlements and divisions of property. In the mean time, there are some things that you can do to try and resolve the issues and avoid allowing the court to make the decisions for you.

Divorce by Default Proceeding

If the spouse refuses to show for the scheduled divorce hearing and all attempts at negotiating have failed, the original filing spouse has the right to request a default divorce.

In this instance, the court will uphold the divorce request and all of the original terms. This means that all divisions of property, child support amounts and custodial arrangements listed in the divorce papers will be the court's final decision.

The reason the courts make this decision is because the court considers the opposing spouse's absence to be an agreement to the terms of the divorce. The court will make the default finding as long as the other spouse was truly served with the petition.

What is gross neglect of duty?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Gross negligence is a legal concept which means serious carelessness. Negligence is the opposite of diligence, or being careful. The standard of ordinary negligence is what conduct one expects from the proverbial "reasonable person". By analogy, if somebody has been grossly negligent, that means they have fallen so far below the ordinary standard of care that one can expect, to warrant the label of being "gross".
