There are some places that will grant you a one signature divorce. It depends a lot on your circumstances. It may be handled differently if it is abandonment, or if it is contested. Either way, in many locations, it is still possible. It is best to seek legal advice in the area in which you reside.

No you have to have both parties sign the divorce because if you don't and you get remarried you could be reported for bigamy ( it's illegal).

Can you get remarried in one state while married to another person in another state if divorce papers are about to be signed by the judge?

Absolutely not. You would still be married to your first spouse and your remarriage would be invalid. You cannot be legally remarried while you are still married to your spouse. Papers "about to be signed" are not signed and carry no legal significance whatsoever. You are not divorced until the judge signs the decree and it is entered into the record.
