Let your attorney proceed with the divorce. He will do what he has to do until your husband either caves or the judge issues a ruling.

If your ex-to-be won't sign a Stipulated Judgment, then you will need to request a Trial and have the judicial officer make the orders to finalize your dissolution. You cannot force someone to sign papers.

I would like more information to effectively answer your question especially since you have an attorney. Service of the initial divorce papers does not require a signature in California. A final judgment cannot be entered until the passing of six months and one day from the date your husbands attorney was served. Further clarification/description of the "divorce papers" served is necessary to respond in more detail.

Once the 90 days are up, if your husband has not responded, you can ask for a default judgment. If he has responded, you need to wait until the trial date. Wait.

Talk to your attorney. If the other side won't agree or respond, the matter should be set for a contested divorce.

You should have the papers served on your husband by a sheriff or sheriff's deputy.

I suggest you ask your attorney if he/she can file for a hearing with the Court to figure out how the Court would like to proceed. If he won't sign, then go to trial.
