Re:filing microtech1: Hey jim I understand what you are feeling. I really found myself thinking about what her face would look like when she got served. It didn't take long to realize it most likely wasn't what I would like it to be. Oh well, I still care about how she feels about the whole thing but man won't it be nice when it's all over!!!!
Re:filing charmed: I can't believe how cheap divorces are elsewhere. I paid $1500 plus $135 filing fee and still may have to put out more. There are NO minor children involved either.
This was the cheapest in my area. I had been quoted up to $5000.
I could write a novel on my divorce proceedings LOL, but I'll spare you. One thing that really helped me is studying the legalities before hiring a lawyer. I pretty much knew where I stood before I filed.
Best wishes to everyone-

Re:filing francesca: My husband (I just can't say ex yet) and I still have to sign the property settlement agreement. It has taken 4 months to complete. I had to fire my first attorney b/c he never worked on my case...and he barely remembered my name. This week is going to be big b/c it is FINALLY going to be drafted and ready for signatures. (I'll believe that when I see it). So...my ex and I agreed that we would talk about filing right after we sign. Can't wait for that conversation!
Anyone have attorney horror stories out there? I should rephrase, who DOESN'T have a lawyer story to share.
Re:filing turning leaf: ***raising hand. I have a lawyer story to share!**
ok so my gf and her ex decided to head to divorce-ville. husband got a woman attorney, wife got male attorney. they both got it on with their attorneys. it was quite a four-some scene in that courtroom!!
i kinda work in a legal setting and i was advised NOT to ever marry a lawyer (date once or twice = acceptable). can u imagine the paperwork and the marital settlement agreement; i.e. who gets the lamp, area rug and pacman controller? ugghhhh.
I dated a tax lawyer for 7 years and i agree he's not as crude as other kinds of lawyers. whatever. i'll date a pediatrician any day.
Re:filing jenn2be: Jim,
I feel your pain (or lack of) I have my first appointment with the lawyer tomorrow to see how things are going to go. The STBX called this morning to tell me that he may get fired today b/c he has layed out of work so much, mental health days you know. So that sent me into a fit of what if's about $ and I am super sad today, not devestated, or anything like that, just sad, I think I am mourning for the loss of what could have been a wonderful thing. I went home last night to clean out my closet and I think he set me up by leaving out a letter I had written him on our wedding day that was full of hope and promise. After I read it I started crying so hard I thought I was going to throw up, but I got out of there and had a pity party with my friend along with some Margaritas and beer and all was right with the world. You know you are depressed when you eat chocolate ice cream with beer....LOL
