Can I refuse to cooperate with a divorce?

You can, but it will not prevent the divorce or dissolution from proceeding, and is likely to result in extra costs which you may be ordered to pay.

If you don’t respond to an application for divorce or dissolution, your spouse or partner will take extra steps to progress with the end of the relationship. This could include instructing a process server to personally serve you with another set of court documents at your residence or place of work.

Once there is proof that you have been served, the divorce or dissolution can proceed.
