No. The point of a divorce is that both parties can't agree on things. Divorcing may be one of those things. When two people do agree and want to get divorced, it can be referred to as a "no fault" divorce.

No, if the divorce is contested you have to go to court.

It depends were you live. Some states require that a party seeking a divorce must specify the reason(s) or ground(s) for the divorce.These reasons vary from state to state, but may include adultery, abandonment or desertion, the imprisonment of a spouse, habitual drunkenness or drug use, and habitual cruelty by one spouse to the other. Often the spouse complained against contests or denies the grounds for divorce as specified in the complaint.Contested divorces are usually substantially more expensive than uncontested divorces.Even where grounds are required for a divorce, state laws often permit a divorce petition to allege 'irreconcilable differences', 'irremediable breakdown' or other similar terms. This allegation may be included as an alternative ground to other listed grounds. The result of this alternative pleading is that a party, against whom evidence of fault is strong, will often agree to the less onerous finding of irreconcilable differences or irremediable breakdown.

Of course. Otherwise for most couples a divorce would be impossible. Example: Guy beats the piss out of a wife, Is she really expected to get him to agree to sign papers? The law allows for a one sided divorce.

can someone answer the above question please

The courts require that only one person petitions for divorce, what the other party thinks or wants is irrelevant in that respect. As far as the law is concerned, they don't force anyone who doesn't want to be married to stay married and the other person doesn't have to agree to anything in order for a divorce to be granted. Having said that, if the other party doesn't want a divorce, they can make the petitioner's life very, very miserable and they can drag and complicate the process as much as they want

Yes. The type of divorce that you can file without the other person is called Divorce by publication in this case IF you don't know where you spouse live anymore and have been living separately for a while.
