Oftentimes, when a marriage is no longer working, the one thing that both spouses can agree on is that they should proceed with getting a divorce. In some cases, if one spouse is unwilling to accept the fact that the marriage is over, they may refuse to sign the divorce papers, prolonging the process. While an uncooperative spouse can certainly complicate the process, it will not prevent you from proceeding with the divorce. A skilled divorce lawyer will protect your legal rights and pursue the best possible settlement, even if your spouse is uncooperative.
