No, the papers have to be finalized before you both can sign them.\nThey can't be signed before they get filed... that's putting the cart before the horse.

They don't have to. If you have a divorce decree that gives you rights to claim a dependant (sometimes annually or every other year, or not at all) then the custodial parent must honor that. In fact you can file with the deduction by providing copies of the signature page and the tax portion of the decree. If you do not have a divorce decree stating you have rights to claim....you have NO right to claim without the permission of the custodial parent who will have to provide form 8332.\n\n*** I'll qualify that, by saying the other person has legal custody, that is an indication that the child lived with the custodial parent as well for half or more of the year and that that parent paid for at least half of the support of said child...or that the parent has sole custody of the child....That all being true...you cannot claim the child without permission of the custodial parent. Check out the 2nd link for all the rules regarding dependants.

I'm afraid that you still have to get a divorce; But being apart that long and him being in a different country makes it a lot easier. Contact a lawyer in your city and he can run an add in the local paper. Then you can divorce without him even signing the papers. I know this works as I myself have done it.

yes you can.  try to wait if you can still work it out together. go marriage counseling.  if u will continue to file the divorce, u might regret someday when your marriage is getting better.

Possibly...\n\nYou can have an ex-parte divorce. This only happens if one party does not appear for divorce proceedings after being given a number of opportunities to appear.\n\nThe other way, would be if no divorce agreement can be made between the parties, and a judge signs the divorce.

It would not be advisable to file for divorce yourself.  If there are no children or assets to battle over, you can hire an attorney to file the petition in family court for you at very little cost.  In Texas, divorces can be contested, but in most cases, are not denied.  The complications begin when there are assets to dive and custody issues.  If these issues exist, and your spouse is agreeable, you can contact an attorney to draft a decree and file it in family court.  Your spouse can sign a waiver of appearence and your divorce can be finalizad in 45-60 days.\n\nGood luck to you and sorry to hear things aren't working.\n\nTake care.

yeah .. sounds like you're ready ... \n\nYou might need some time to save up some $$$ of your own ( if possible )\n\nStart looking for a divorce lawyer ( I would highly recommend one if you have any kids, property, equity, loans, ... etc.... with him )

No Way!!! If they did... although I would never want to go through a divorce, that is a great reason. If you are cool with it, then that is between you and yours. If not... It is time to do some serious reevaluating of your relationship!!!

You need to get divorce before he's released if possible , so you can at least find him . If he decides to not be found , simply because he doesn't want to sign for papers. This could be a long divorcing . As any questions of law , States vary in how to , yes a lawyer is available in all states , some people can't afford the cost ( esp. with child (ren) , bills unpaid in both names ....) There is a self divorce in some states ,if he'll be in jail for awhile .As it's cheaper ,but takes Longer .In the state I am in my ex husband ( living across state , not in my home sense 1 and half years ) Yet , still not finally divorced , Ran Bilss up to thousands of dollars ! The phone company turned my service off and took me to court . Yes , I had to pay his bill to have service ! I was lucky ,our divorce went though afew months later . Divorces doesn't put on gloves on before the fight.*Some divorces

You know after two divorces, I seem to think that the guys feel that it is the women's duty to file.  Both of them told me to file so as not to embarrass me but to actually put the blame on them.  When a man files it looks as though he wants out or the women is to blame and then he would feel worse and of course he won't want to have to feel that would he!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You may be out of luck, but in some states you can get a filing fee reduction or waiver if you fill out the right paperwork. Some states require a certain time period of waiting along with running advertisements in the local and last known address newspapers when the other party is absent. If he knows where she is and the divorce is uncontested and no children are involved, he can look in the classifieds or thrifty nickel papers, I've seen "divorce experts" advertise in there for like $300 plus filing fees.

Why, so you can stay married to someone that wants a divorce?  Strange, strange, strange world we live in.  You should file and set the hearings and if she doesn't show up, you get everything.

The "marriage penalty" no longer exists.  So, it is no longer intrinsically better to file separately.  Some couples though, dependant on their holdings, may get a better deal by filing seperately.\n\nJust for the record, people who are getting divorced are not actually divorced.  They can still file jointly.  And if they own a home, they both benefit from the credit if they file jointly.  Otherwise, only one gets the credit.

If you want your name on the house, then you would have to apply jointly.  And I would strongly suggest having your name on the house to protect you in the case of divorce.

Normally you have to file for divorce from whatever state you are a resident of.  \n\nI worked with a guy who was in the marines and his wife left him, he got stationed overseas but made his permanent residence his parents place and thus was a resident his home state and being a new resident had to wait 6 months before filing.  The state he used to live in refused to allow him to file as he was no longer a resident.

My new husband had that problem, it's rather simple... Get the attorney to get the papers going, he"ll list it in the news paper that he is being looked for and if there is no answer, well, your papers go through and you are divorced after a short time, weather he answers the attorney thing or not. it's  not all that hard, just get youself a good attorney honey..
