Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma

Divorce Finality

I know there is a 6 month waiting period before a divorce is final, however does it matter that the other party (who initiated the divorce)would not sign the final divorce papers and has stated that because of this the divorce is not final. It will be a year in March, 2001
