You have to file a contested divorce. One of the grounds upon which to file a contested divorce is being confined to the penitentiary for a year or more.

Get the court to enter the divorce decree. If you don't have an attorney, talk with one about the best way to proceed.

The divorce cannot be finalized until it has been consented to in writing.

You should consult a family law attorney or facilitator for assistance in how to proceed with a default judgment.

You can obtain a divorce by default if you have served the paperwork correctly, and if the respondent does not file an answer to the complaint within the prescribed period (usually 20 days). It is not necessary for the person to sign anything.

In Michigan, if you properly served him, you are entitled to a default judgment.

If there is no signed agreement you must proceed as if this is a contested matter.

If you did everything right - you'll get divorced. If not, it won't be because your spouse didn't 'sign'.
