Whatever the reason, today's truth is that women, not men, take the financial hit in divorce -- and it takes years to recover. Multiple studies conducted over the last 10 years all demonstrate that a woman's income drops significantly after divorce, while a man's stays the same or increases.
In the US you generally don't need consent to get a divorce. If one person refuses to cooperate, the judge will order them to. If they still refuse, the judge could find them in contempt, or they could order the divorce granted based on the information provided by the plaintiff.
Yes, a divorce can be granted without the other spouse's signature. The person filing for the divorce has to sign , but the absent spouse has to notify the other spouse that he/she is filing for divorce. If they don't show up to contest it when it goes before the judge, the divorce can still be granted.
Yup. If a spouse abandons a marriage, and it's proven they cannot be located to be properly served with notice of a divorce, the divorce can proceed without them. The divorce disposition will be recorded at the courthouse that it's filed at.
Courts only award post-divorce alimony if necessary, i.e., the recipient spouse cannot financially support themselves. Alimony is referred to as a “secondary remedy” by the court, in that it is not automatic in every divorce.

You probably can schedule a hearing with the court to have the judge make orders to divide assets and debts and set support and child custody, and if she doesn't participate the judge can make whatever orders they think are reasonable.
Yes, you can file without your husband's knowledge and consent. You have a constitutional right to marry whomever you like, with some narrow exceptions (eg some minors, some people you are related to, same sex persons in some states, etc.). You have about the same right to divorce, pretty much at will.
In Pennsylvania the spousal testimony privilege applies in both civil and criminal matters. The law states that, “except as otherwise provided in this subchapter, in a criminal proceeding a person shall have the privilege, which he or she may waive, not to testify against his or her then lawful spouse.” 42 Pa.
The short answer is yes, you can force a Spouse to leave the marital residence. But there are requirements that must be met in order to have a sole legal claim to the marital home. An agreement between spouses on who is to move out and situations of domestic violence are examples meeting the requirements.
