Strictly speaking, you cannot force your husband to sign the divorce papers. If he won't sign the decree or the waiver of citation, please make sure to have him properly served through the district clerk's office. You may use a private process server to serve him at his home or at work. If he doesn't respond to the divorce within thirty (30) days of service, you will be able to obtain what is known as a default divorce. There are some steps you need to take to do this properly, however, so I strongly recommend you contact a local divorce attorney for a consultation as soon as possible.

There is no requirement that the defendant in a divorce case sign anything as long as he has been properly served with the petition. Once he has been served, you can start finalizing the divorce. This information applies to divorce only, not custody.

He does not have to waive service and citation for the divorce petition, so if he isn't cooperative, you may need to proceed as a contested divorce.
