Your Wife "signing" anything, would only be if you have a full settlement agreement. If there are disputed issues, then you need to file for a contested divorce and have her properly served. If you reside in different states, then you need to file for divorce in the state where the child resides, in most circumstances. You need to consult with an attorney.

In most cases, you have an absolute right to a divorce. Only in a few circumstances will you be prevented from getting a timely divorce. One example: if your spouse is determined incompetent,he/ she must have had a guardianship established for the number of years set out in the Florida Statutes before you can obtain a divorce.

It is possible to file for divorce in Florida if you have lived here for at least six months. Your wife's consent is not required. But you should consult a lawyer to determine if that is in your best interests depending upon where your children live and what assets you have together.
