Your question can be broken down into two parts: 1) the divorce; and 2) the marital settlement agreement.

The judge can grant the divorce without an agreement between the parties. There are a lot of divorces without an agreement between the spouses.

If there is no property and no kids -- what is contained in the marital settlement agreement? A debt division agreement? I would review the agreement and see if you can determine what the hang up seems to be or if the other side is being difficult.
