I am so sorry for the situation. If he is filing for divorce then there is what is a called a no fault divorce and you do not have to sign anything for him to be able to ask the court to dissolve your marriage. It is best if you accept service then speak with a lawyer as to your rights. You can not, however, force him to stay married to you. Good luck.
