Desperate Chad Johnson Refuses to Sign Divorce Papers

Ft. Lauderdale, FL- Chad Johnson is so desperate to hold onto Evelyn Lozada that he has refused to sign the divorce papers.

A source close to the couple told TMZ that Johnson doesn’t want to sign the papers in the hopes of winning her back and has made an unusual move to keep Lozada.

To further show his devotion, Johnson had Lozada’s face tattooed on his right leg over the Labor Day holiday and showed off his new ink on Twitter, presumably to get his estranged wife’s attention.

Lozada filed for divorce earlier this month following an incident where Johnson allegedly head-butted her.  She had to get several stiches following the incident, and had a divorce lawyer draw up papers just three days later citing irreconcilable differences.

The couple married on July 4th, an event that was taped for a reality show which was scrapped following the controversy. Johnson was also fired from the Miami Dolphins just a few days after his arrest for domestic battery.

Loazada is unmoved by her exes desire to stay together and plans to go forward with the divorce. They have a prenuptial agreement so the final settlement could be reached quickly if Johnson would just sign the papers.

Not all hope is lost for Lozada since the state of Florida allows judges to grant a divorce even if one party refuses to sign papers.
