You need to file a motion for entry of a default and then set the matter for final hearing. If you are not completely familiar with the process, you should consult with and retain an attorney to assist you.

There is no requirement in Colorado, nor in most states, that you spouse sign anything. All that is required is that he be personally served the paper work and that there is someone who can state under oath that the papers were served on him.

File a request for entry of default and then submit a request for judgment and all the required documents. You may need the help of a lawyer or paralegal to complete this. Good luck.

If the time to respond to the Complaint for Divorce has past, you can enter a default. Once the default is entered, you can proceed to a default judgment and will not need her signature or agreement.

There is no need to sign the papers. If there has been service of the petition on the other party, you can have a default decree entered after the 60 day waiting period has passed. I suggest you hire a lawyer.
