How do I get exspouse to sign final agreement?
The final agreement resides with the respondant’s attorney awaiting his signature. I haven’t heard from either attorney if this has been done. If respondant stops paying his attorney and mine doesn’t respond to my emails because of the balance due can this hold up the process? What can I do to get this finalized. Respondant just needs to sign and then it is off to the court. It has been 2 years since I filed and I want this finalized!! Please help.

Try contacting a "Family Law Facilitator" in the court where your divorce is taking place. Perhaps the Facilitator can look at your divorce file and see where your case is right now and what steps you need to take to finalize it. The Facilitator can sometimes assist you with filling out forms to present to court.
To find the contact information for a facilitator at your court and to find out more about how a facilitator can help you, go to this website: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/lowcost/flf.htm.

If your husband doesn't sign the papers and you're not paying your lawyer, it's hard to give you an optimistic response.
I wouldn't let this slide, because eventually it's possible that the court will simply dismiss the case, unfinished, if nothing is happening. I know times are hard, and they are hard for your attorney right now, too.
