Some more useful info.

If the spouse does not respond at all, you can usually get a default judgment, in what's called an uncontested divorce .

Also, if there is proof that he has tried to hurt her (and in many states, even if all there is is her word), domestic abuse laws would help her get a divorce, I believe.

(And I found this gem here : "One spouse cannot stop a no fault divorce. Objecting to the other spouse's request for divorce is itself an irreconcilable difference that would justify the divorce." :rolleyes: )

Do you know the most surprising thing about divorce? It doesn't actually kill you, like a bullet to the heart or a head-on car wreck. It should. When someone you've promised to cherish till death do you part says, "I never loved you," it should kill you instantly.
