File and get divorce with consent in pa
I filed in July last year. We’ve been separated a year as of March 3rd. My ex has papers signed but refuses to give me then unless we meet and talk. No assets to divide; no kids; nothing to discuss. I was informed I could get a divorce with his consent. Am I able to use the papers I already filed to continue without his consent or how do I go about the process?

Yes, you can. Once the period of time in which to "answer" your petiton expires, as the petitioning spouse, you can proceed with what is known as a "default divorce". This is a divorce that is granted in the absence of one of the parties and is generally granted on the terms requested. At this point, you can either check online for further information or you can consult directly with a local divorce attorney.
