What is the problem in signing the divorce papers if you agree with it? The fact of the matter is that you should sign it to make the divorce process easier and less stressful for her. If you don't sign anything, you will piss her off and she will it after the divorce might end up coming after you for child support if there is a child. If you have been married a long period of time like 2 years or more or even 3 months or more depending on how spiteful she wants to be furiours over you not signing and making this easy for her. She is being an extremely nice lady by not asking for anything but a dissolution of divorce. It might be in your best interest to sign the papers and submit it as a response.
