SA Do I need to sign divorce papers?

[neverwantedthis]

i have been separated for 10 months, legal separation has been done with consent orders submitted and approved and for all intents and purposes I am not responsible for her financially or otherwise. I have been told via a phone call she wants a divorce after refusing to even try to make anything work (she walked out and all efforts to fix anything were blocked).

For me however, based on my faith, I do not want to sign divorce papers. Do I have a choice if she files individually?

Not really. Your ex can do everything without your involvement. You will get sent/served papers and it is up to you as to whether you consent or do nothing.

Either way divorce will happen if she pursues the matter.

Thanks for the answe. If I don’t sign, what’s the process look like?
