I live in NY State and got separation papers off the internet. I filled them out but how do I get my wife to sign them? Can I have them served on her? If so How do I go about it?

In relatively few cases you can get a Court-ordered separation if you have no grounds for divorce and it's your last option but I haven't seen one granted in many years.
