Default Petitioner stalling

I have finally reached a settlement with my wife, we have no attorney's at this point. The final papers have been drawn up and are ready to be signed by both of us. She is now making up excuses as to why she can't get the papers notarized and filed for a date with the judge. She has told me she needs to wait to the end of the month, I know that she is stalling. She claims she isn't but I know if I allow it to continue at the end of the month she will want to drag it on further. I am the respondent in the case, is there a way to force the issue or can she just sit on her hands as long as she wants to. The reason she is dragging this on is due to the fact that she doesn't want to end it, there is no chance to reconcile things but she just doesn't want to make it final. What can I do? I hate the idea of hiring another attorney with money I simply don't have. No much faith in them right now anyway.

First talk to the courthouse about what can be done if she fails to sign. Depending on what they say you may need to hire counsel to represent you in a contested divorce situation or any other options that may be available to you.

You sound like your in the same predicament as my estranged husband. Only I won't sign the stipulation papers drawn up from the mediation we went to. Simply because he added to them. That was not in agreement. Talk to Utah Legal Services of Utah. They give legal advice as to what you can do.
