If you are in Florida, then it is a No Fault State and you can get divorced whether or not she consents. You should consult with an attorney.

You do not need the other spouse's consent to get divorced in Wisconsin. Locate an experienced family law attorney, and work with him to draft the Summons and Petition, and any motions for temporary orders.

You might want to consider hiring an attorney. If she is going to give you problems with child support, alimony, division of property and debts, it is best to start right. Start right with hiring an attorney from the beginning.

Yes you no longer need fault grounds to obtain a divorce; just a one year physical separation is required.

File papers and have her served. If she does nothing, go forward with a default judgment. If she does respond, the court can order a judgment of dissolution of marriage over her objection.
