Do both parties have to sign the papers for a divorce to be final in the state of Maryland?
A spouse can refuse to sign the divorce papers for as long as they wish but that does not mean that they wont get divorced. The court simply will not keep a party to a marriage in the marriage arrangement if they do not want to be in it anymore. What happens in these circumstances is that you must attempt to serve the other party (sounds like you have done that) and proceed as if they did and a default divorce judgment will be entered and you will be divorced.
Just because divorce papers are signed does not mean you are divorced?
If you are talking about being signed by the spouses, then no. Before a divorce is final it has to be approved by a judge. The judge actually grants the divorce, your signatures only show that you both agree to the divorce.
Is there a cut off date for divorce papers that have been served but haven't been processed?
The divorce will still be processed by the petitioner. Not signing does not mean anything..just prolongs the procedure.
If the divorce papers read that the defendants not liable for any mortgages or loans can the bank hold them liable?

How can you get a divorce from an incarcerated spouse for a 1 in Missouri?
Your question is confusing. "How do you divorce a prisoner for 1." What does "For 1," mean? Otherwise, anyone divorces a prisoner just like anyone divorces anyone else. You go to the court that handles divorces and file for divorce. You serve papers on the other party. The prison has a process whereby they will bring the prisoner to a special holding cell where the person serving the papers can serve them. The prisoner may represent himself or herself in court in person or by telephone or through an attorney. It varies according to location.
What does transfer your credits mean?
If you are moving from a university to another, or from one programme to another, to continue your studies having already done a few semesters or papers, you are 'transferring your credits' from the papers you've already sat for to the requirements of the following papers.
If you get a divorce and it is stated in the divorce papers that you are not responsible for bills that you are not the primary account holder do you still have to pay them?
Hopefully, you had a divorce lawyer. You should ask your lawyer about the meaning of that clause. Your lawyer will have the entire divorce decree and not just the sentence you quoted. It may mean after your divorce, it may mean after a particular date, or it may refer to the fact that the two of you kept separate finances and your partner ran up large debts without your knowledge. Check with your lawyer.
What does a divorce by default mean?
