Answer:
In California, a divorce can still be finalized even if one spouse refuses to sign the divorce papers. The grounds for divorce in California include irreconcilable differences, which are defined as significant reasons that make it clear the marriage should end. If one spouse does not agree to a joint petition for divorce, the other spouse can still pursue a divorce based on irreconcilable differences.
