What happens if the spouse refuses to sign the divorce paperwork or acknowledge it all together?

Divorce lawyer at The Law Office of Anthony A. Roach
The other spouse doesn't have to acknowledge anything for you to get divorced. You can have them properly served, and when they fail to respond, proceed by way of default.

What can I do if my spouse doesn’t want to cooperate with the divorce?

Jeffrey Wittenbrink
Answered by attorney Jeffrey Wittenbrink
Divorce lawyer at Wittenbrink Law Firm
In Louisiana it is not necessary to have a spouse's cooperation to get a divorce. It is difficult to pursue a divorce if one is completely economically dependent, but there are statutes in Louisiana that are designed to help dependent spouses. A spouse may be entitled to temporary spousal support, enabling him or her to live to the extent possible, the same way they lived while married, if a payor spouse can afford to pay. If there are liquid (cash) assets the parties own, such as a savings or checking account, a court may award a partial distribution of those funds until the community property is divided, in order to help a spouse set up a household, pay an attorney and other necessities. A dependent spouse seeking a divorce should immediately contact a qualified family law attorney to get the maximum assistance he or she is entitled to under the law.

If you do, you will probably be in court very soon. Your husband will try to get you ordered to reinstate medical insurance.
