A divorce can go through when only one person participates. Your spouse would have to have you served either personally or through publication in a legal newspaper and then after the mandatory waiting period, if you do not respond, that person can go into court and get what is called a default Decree.

If you have been served the dissolution of the marriage could be over in 6 months. But that does not mean the property issues or child custody would be over.

Yes. The judge will order it after trial. In Idaho, you cannot keep a person married that does not want to be.

Yes, if you don't cooperate by responding to the petition, the other party can get a default order and you will be stuck with whatever the other party asked for. You can ask the court to order couples counseling, but if the other party doesn't want to do it, nothing can force him/her to do it. Better to respond and at least have some control over how assets/liabilities are divided.

Yes, as long as one person wants the dissolution it will proceed without the cooperation of the other party.

If you are properly served with divorce papers and do not file a answer within 42 days. Your spouse can ask for an uncontested divorce hearing and you do not have to be present for the court to grant them a divorce.
