More details to this question:
I have been married a little over two years, but I no longer want to be married to my husband any longer. Just for the simple fact that I am not happy in the marriage. How do I go about getting a quick, easy, and cheap divorce? Even if he doesn’t want to sign the papers can I still get the divorce?

You can get a cheap, easy, quick divorce if your husband agrees. If he does not, then it will be expensive, hard and slow.

The easiest and quickest divorce in Massachusetts is a "1A" no-fault, uncontested divorce. If there is 100% agreement and both parties sign all the paperwork, then the divorce would be final 120 days after you both appear in court to have the divorce approved. If that is not possible, you would file a "1B" divorce, which is a no-fault contested divorce- but it will take you at least 9 months (6 months waiting for a pretrial conference and 3 months for a nisi period) to process the matter through the court. The court process actually anticipates about 14 months for a contested matter. To start the time-clock running, you should file a complaint for divorce (1B) and have your husband served with the summons. Then, if he cooperates and agrees to divorce, you could always amend your divorce to a "1A" and process your divorce faster.

If your ex is cooperative it will be quick, easy and relatively cheap. If he won't sign the necessary pleadings then it will slow things down and cost more money but he cannot stop the divorce only slow it down and make it more costly for you. Consult with an attorney for the details of how to do the divorce when the other party is uncooperative.

You can still get divorced. If he does not signed, have him served, and if he does not answer, you get a default. Best to go through an attorney to make sure it gets done right.
