More details to this question:
My spouse filed for divorce claiming the marriage is broken, I on the other do not think it's broken and can be saved by marriage counseling.. can I put in a motion for the judge to get counseling when I sign the papers even though we don't own anything or have kids with each other?

Only one party needs to allege that the marriage is irretrievably broken to have the divorce granted. However, you can ask the judge to grant a stay in order to attend counseling. If your spouse does not want to do so, it might not be helpful and the judge might not be inclined to grant it.
