More details to this question:
No kids. uncontested divorce. Judge granted waiver of 90-day waiting period. Remaining docs need to be filed: Affidavit of Jurisdiction and Grounds for Divorce, Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law, Decree of Divorce. Paperwork indicates that the Petitioner needs to sign (some notarized). Petitioner (my husband) is dragging his feet on submitting final paperwork - says he's too busy. Can I as the Respondent, sign these docs in the sections where the paperwork indicates the Petitioner signature, and cross off "Petitioner" and write in that I'm the Respondent signing them, and then state in the applicable section that I mailed them to the Petitioner instead of the other way around, as the paperwork indicates?

Without knowing what has been filed in your case, such as an answer or counterclaim, one cannot actually answer. If there is not answer or the like, then there is a question as to whether a default has been entered, along with the required military information. And if that is the case, then it is only the petition who can easily move forward.
The best thing to do is get with experienced counsel to review your case and files.
