Re: What happens in court??? INCT: T/C,
Glad I could shed some light for you. Yeah it is depressing. the whole thing is. I mean someone is being ripped from the one they love and who they thought they were spending the rest of their lives with and it's very clinical. It's like going to the DR.'s office or the hospital cold and unfeeling emotions are not allowed.. it's a business.

Re: What happens in court??? Brian75034: INCT is right on the money.
When I went to court with my lawyer (it was just me and him, no contested divorce). The whole thing took maybe 15 minute. Its so sad to think of all the fighting, the marriage, the dating, and it comes down to 15 minutes in front of a judge I never met and its done. What a sad way to have it all end. :(
Re: What happens in court??? totallyconfused: INCT -
That is totally how I feel today. I have to take modified papers to my attorney this afternoon and I HATE how my whole life is just listed on paper. That's it. They don't feel the pain, the heartache, the loss, the disappointment.....it's just a divorce to them. I hate this.

Re: What happens in court??? INCT: T/C,
It's just another day at the office for these people. But like a DR. who may want to show compassion, they can't I guess it's part of the gig. My lawyer was on the line of compassion and lets just get this part of your life behind you. (although I was the biggest pain in the butt)
With that said, keep your chin up.

Re: What happens in court??? Anna: I'm coming up on a year since my divorce was final. I was re-reading my journal from this time last year, and started out one entry with "What does one wear to her divorce?" I then went on about how I anticipated wearing my wedding dress, and how special that whole day was, and how this was the direct opposite.
My divorce was uncontested, and my ex H did not have a lawyer. (He thinks he is smarter than lawyers) It was very clinical - no emotion was shown by either side. The judge kept making a gigantic deal about how Chris could have more time with the kids if he chose. Luckily, he didn't choose. It took about 20 minutes, although we almost didn't have it that day, because they were sentencing a famous case about a rebirthing therapy session that ended in the death of a young girl in our courtroom. It was a sad day for me, but one that started me on the road to healing. I hope your day is ok.
