Chad Johnson appears to have taken his wedding vows seriously and refuses to sign divorce papers. Despite a very public and bitter altercation with his wife, Evelyn Lozada, Chad is still hoping to work things out.

From TMZ

Sources close to Chad tell TMZ … he won’t sign the docs or partake in any divorce proceedings because he doesn’t want to get a divorce. We’re told Chad still believes he can win Evelyn back … as evidenced by the fact he recently tattooed her face on his leg.

But Chad’s plan isn’t exactly bulletproof — under Florida law (where Evelyn filed the docs) the divorce can still be finalized with a judge’s approval.

Sources tell us Evelyn is hellbent on making this divorce happen and nothing Chad does will get her back. We’re told she’s ready to move on and rebuild her life.
