You do not need to agree to counseling or you can go once and state that you intend to move forward with the dissolution and that way the counselor can help guide him toward some resources so that he realizes that the divorce is happening. If you have filed, then go ahead and prepare and serve your Preliminary Declaration of Disclosure. Then see what occurs. You would benefit from consulting with a family law attorney so that you can keep your case on track and meet all of your requirements. You will also be aware of your rights and obligations so that you can proceed accordingly. At some point if your ex-to-be does not agree to Judgment terms, you will need to request a trial.

You don't have to go to counseling to save the marriage. If there are irreconcilable differences you are entitled to a divorce.

You do not have to agree unless the Court order's you to concealing. Your next step in the process, therefore, would be to file all the necessary forms, have your spouse served with copies and then file a request for hearing so the Court can set your matter on the calendar. Good luck.

In Georgia, it only takes one to go forward with the divorce. Georgia is a no-fault state and you do not have to agree to the counseling. If he won't enter into a settlement with you, proceed forward towards a final trial. If you have any questions on how to do this, I would recommend a consultation with a local divorce lawyer just to put you on the right track.

In Wisconsin, the court cannot order counseling if you have no children together (and even if you do, it is difficult to get the court to order).
