In Arizona the grounds for a dissolution are that the marriage is irretrievably broken, with no prospect of reconciliation. What you do is file your petition for dissolution and have it served upon him. He can argue about "stuff", but he can only delay the entry of a decree of dissolution.

In California you can not keep the other party from obtaining a dissolution if they want one. Once served that party can refuse to participate and allow the matter to go by default. You should consult a family law attorney or facilitator about how to obtain a default judgment.

File as a contested action. He has to sign nothing that way.

In Florida, he doesn't have to sign anything and can't stop your divorce. You will need to file and have him served formally with the papers. If he fails to respond, then he can be defaulted and the divorce can proceed. If you are uncertain how to proceed, then you should consult with and retain an attorney in order to have them assist you with the process.

Only one person has to want the divorce for it to happen. You should have your spouse served with the divorce papers and there would be nothing for him to sign.

No, he cannot keep you from receiving a divorce. If he won't sign a voluntary appearance, you can have him served by Sheriff. If you don't know where he is, you can have him served by publication in a newspaper. If he won't sign a settlement agreement, you can go to Court and the Judge can issue a Decree after hearing without his consent. He can make divorce more difficult but he cannot stop it from happening.

He can slow things down a mite, but no, he can not preclude you from seeking and obtaining a dissolution of your marriage.

No, if you want a divorce, even if your spouse won't agree to one, you can obtain a divorce on your own. If you file for divorce, the court will grant your divorce once you satisfy all the statutory requirements.
