Need a divorce

Yes, you can file a divorce without your wife's signature, as long as you meet the residency requirements for filing a divorce in New York, and the proper papers are filed and served on your wife. If you meet all the requirements and she is properly served, and the time for your wife to serve an answer expires without her filing an answer or getting an extension to answer the divorce complaint, if you make a motion, you will be awarded a judgment of divorce by default.
