Can I force my spouse to divorce me?
The answer is no. But it's a bit more
complicated than that. Every state has different laws around divorce, and each
state has different grounds for divorce. You can always get divorced if you
lived in the US, you can’t force someone to stay married to you.
If you're trying to force your spouse to get a divorce, you are really in a bad place. Yes, it's possible to get a divorce if your spouse doesn't agree with you, but the process itself is going to be much harder and longer than you might think. Unless there's domestic violence involved, you'll have to go through mediation and then if it’s contested, all the way to a divorce trial before a judge. The process is long and complicated, and it can take up to two years or more before you can actually finalize your divorce case. You're going to spend a lot of time and money trying to make this happen.
With that said, not all divorces are contested. Most settle in mediation, so if you want to get divorced, call good divorce lawyers. It's common to feel trapped in a marriage that may not be working anymore. If you're suffering and you're sure you want to get out, it's natural to start thinking about how to force a divorce. While divorce can be an important part of personal growth, forcing one can have disastrous consequences for your life and for the people around you.
