The short answer is yes, in Utah you can force your spouse to divorce you.
This article is about divorce. Divorce can be a difficult, emotional process. Especially when one party is not cooperating, it can seem impossible to proceed. However, the process can be made easier by working with your spouse. In fact, divorces are faster if both parties agree to the process. However, if your spouse refuses to sign the divorce paperwork, you may have to consider your options. In some cases, you may be able to force your spouse to sign the papers.
If your spouse is resisting the divorce, this can be a sign that he or she is hiding from the divorce process. A recalcitrant spouse may be paralyzed by fear or shame, or by power struggles that result in a fight for control. It is essential to work with your attorney to understand the circumstances surrounding your spouse’s resistance and avoid making things worse.
Before you approach your spouse about the divorce, it is important to be prepared. Be sure to explain the situation clearly and calmly. Be sure not to give mixed messages or give your spouse false hope. A spouse may feel overwhelmed and seek an explanation, especially if they feel blindsided. It is important to prepare for the inevitable conversation and be as sensitive as possible.
If you do not want to work out a financial settlement, it is important to consult a lawyer. An experienced divorce attorney can help you negotiate the best way to reach a settlement. Ascent Law LLC focuses in assisting people who are in the process of divorce.

Salt Lake City (often shortened to Salt Lake and abbreviated as SLC) is the capital and most populous city of Utah, as well as the seat of Salt Lake County, the most populous county in Utah. With a population of 199,723 in 2020,[10] the city is the core of the Salt Lake City metropolitan area, which had a population of 1,257,936 at the 2020 census. Salt Lake City is further situated within a larger metropolis known as the Salt Lake City–Ogden–Provo Combined Statistical Area, a corridor of contiguous urban and suburban development stretched along a 120-mile (190 km) segment of the Wasatch Front, comprising a population of 2,606,548 (as of 2018 estimates),[11] making it the 22nd largest in the nation. It is also the central core of the larger of only two major urban areas located within the Great Basin (the other being Reno, Nevada).
Salt Lake City was founded July 24, 1847, by early pioneer settlers, led by Brigham Young, who were seeking to escape persecution they had experienced while living farther east. The Mormon pioneers, as they would come to be known, entered a semi-arid valley and immediately began planning and building an extensive irrigation network which could feed the population and foster future growth. Salt Lake City’s street grid system is based on a standard compass grid plan, with the southeast corner of Temple Square (the area containing the Salt Lake Temple in downtown Salt Lake City) serving as the origin of the Salt Lake meridian. Owing to its proximity to the Great Salt Lake, the city was originally named Great Salt Lake City. In 1868, the word “Great” was dropped from the city’s name.[12]
Immigration of international members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, mining booms, and the construction of the first transcontinental railroad initially brought economic growth, and the city was nicknamed “The Crossroads of the West”. It was traversed by the Lincoln Highway, the first transcontinental highway, in 1913. Two major cross-country freeways, I-15 and I-80, now intersect in the city. The city also has a belt route, I-215.
Salt Lake City has developed a strong tourist industry based primarily on skiing and outdoor recreation. It hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics. It is known for its politically progressive and diverse culture, which stands at contrast with the rest of the state’s conservative leanings.[13] It is home to a significant LGBT community and hosts the annual Utah Pride Festival.[14] It is the industrial banking center of the United States.[15] Salt Lake City and the surrounding area are also the location of several institutions of higher education including the state’s flagship research school, the University of Utah. Sustained drought in Utah has more recently strained Salt Lake City’s water security and caused the Great Salt Lake level drop to record low levels,[16][17] and impacting the state’s economy, of which the Wasatch Front area anchored by Salt Lake City constitutes 80%.[18]
