First, you would need to make sure that you have filed a response so you will not be in default. Then for you to proceed you would have to file a request for trial setting conference to get the case moving through the Court system. That will either foster a settlement or you can proceed to trial.

You don't say what he won't sign. If he filed, he doesn't need to sign anything further until the decree. If he won't sign that, go to court on the date of trial and the court will sign a default decree.

In California, you can file a Request for Trial Setting so that the Court will set a trial date for you.

You can ask the Court for a hearing on the issue to move the case forward or dismiss your husband's Petition and allow you to file for divorce as the Petitioner.
