Couples in fiction who get divorced generally do so in only two ways. Either they hate each other so much as to fight viciously in court over every piece of property and terms of child custody, with each party hiring an Amoral Attorney who is willing to use any dirty tactics, or else it's a unilateral decision by one party which the other spouse, still in love with their partner, can't quite bring himself (and it usually is the husband, which statistically is Truth in Television more often than not) to conclude the divorce. The divorce papers will lie conspicuously on the foot-dragger's desk, still sealed in their manila envelope, and they will use any administrative slowdown they can to drag it out till the very end of the deadline for submission. The would-be ex who wants the divorce will pester them to get it done, often because they're planning to marry someone else and the wedding date is fast approaching.note Recognizing that this is an issue in Real Life, in some jurisdictions, one party can get divorced from another party even if the second party refuses to cooperate or sign papers. The first party just has to prove that they served notice properly and that they have been separated for long enough. Otherwise, a foot-dragging spouse could "lock you into the marriage" just by refusing to cooperate. When the papers finally do get signed, it's usually after the reluctant spouse has some plot-inspired epiphany about how he needs to get on with his life, set his partner free to live hers, or otherwise accept that it's over. Either that, or the foot-dragger meets a new Love Interest of his own, possibly as a Pair the Spares. Subversions often end up being a Temporary Divorce. Aversions in which a two-timer claims to his or her lover that their spouse is a foot-dragger, but actually has no intention to divorce at all, are also common. |

Implied on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, when a bedridden Stabler tells Benson that his wife began divorce proceedings two weeks ago and he's just not gotten around to signing the paperwork. He eventually does sign the papers in "Burned", but only after watching another divorcing couple completely destroy each other in a vindictive "he said, she said" rape investigation. |

The character who helps the protagonist in Lucky You has long since split up with his wife, and keeps mailing divorce papers, which she won't sign. The protagonist suggests that she (the wife) is refusing because of a lack of control: she wants to be the divorcer, not the divorcee. | |

On Royal Pains, Charlie does this for pretty much the entire first season to his wife Jill, who he left in favor for his job rather than work on their relationship. Despite her wanting him to sign the papers long before he left, he keeps postponing it in an attempt to woo her. However, sometime between seasons 1 and 2, she finally gets him to sign them and he leaves. | |

Joseph Clarence, the tutorial assassination target in Hitman: Blood Money, was left by his Trophy Wife after he went broke due to managerial negligence of his amusement park which killed a number of guests when the Ferris wheel collapsed. He's so determined that his wife doesn't mean it and will eventually come back to him (despite her disgust that he's using the park as a factory for a local drug lord) has led him to capturing her lawyer when he came to deliver the divorce papers and having his goons torture the man to death until 47 rescues him. | |

On the Angel episode "Bachelor Party", Doyle's wife shows up with her new fiancé so that she can finalize their divorce. Doyle is naturally mopey, since the only reason she left him was because he found out he was half-demon. Except that it turns out the new guy is also a demon, forcing Doyle to confront the fact that no, it was his own angsty reaction to the news that drove her away. And then it's inverted as Doyle finally comes around to blessing the new union, only for Harry's fiancee to try to eat his brains. | |

Subverted on Psych: Carlton Lassiter was in denial about his separation from his wife, and thought they were getting back together when she asked for dinner at their first-date restaurant. She confronted him with divorce papers and he gave a long, foot-dragging speech, but eventually admits he was aware he'd never been good for her. Having gotten that off his chest, he immediately signs the papers. | |

On Lucifer, Reese Getty is this, because he's convinced that he can salvage the marriage. His wife, Linda, is all too aware of his deeper issues and won't put the foot down for fear of forcing him into a breakdown, which he interprets as a sign of her still having feelings for him. And then there's his conviction that the man she's sleeping with is actually the Devil... It's largely a moot point for Linda, as Reese is dead and thus out of the picture, but the guilt and inability to let go provides him with constant torture in Hell. | |

A plot point in Breaking Bad. Skyler starts the divorce process against Walt due to his drug dealing, and threatens to call the police on him if he doesn't sign the papers. However, he obstinately refuses, even going as far as to break back into the house she kicked him out of (which the cops can't arrest him for because it's his own property, he didn't threaten her, and she doesn't have a restraining order). She eventually relents and agrees to stay married so she won't be forced to testify against him if he's caught. | |
