The fact of the matter is that even if you do not want a divorce, your husband can still obtain one. He can serve you with the requisite notice and documents. If you fail to accept service, he can then move forward with what is known as a "default divorce". This is one that is granted if the non-filing spouse does not answer the complaint seved on them in the time required. Just how the whole process works depnds on the specific jurisdiction. At this point, you may want to consult directly with a local divorce lawyer who can best advise you further.
