Did you file this yourself? If so, did you ask for citation and have him served? Did he sign a waiver?
If you are pro se and he is not signing, you are out of luck. You cannot get a divorce unless he either signs a waiver, gets served, appears in court, or signs the decree. Until he signs, it is not uncontested and the Court cannot give you a divorce without his minimal participation. You should really talk to a lawyer about how to proceed.
