I'm Really Not Having a Good Month...

Well, I went to the divorce hearing today...was supposed to be it...we aren't fighting over property or kids or anything. Was supposed to be a 5 min. stint in front of the judge, and bingo, bango, boingo...divorced. Nope, not to be. The devil is in the details, so they say. Clerk pulled us aside and told us that the forms we used from the online divorce website wasn't good enough...there were things in there about kids, so the judge wants that gone and they sent us two documents...the order of divorce and the divorce decree. Judge wants the two documents merged into one...so, if any of you are contemplating using Divorce Writer for your uncontested divorce, I would not recommend their services to you.

As a result, I now have to track down a paralegal and get them to finish up the paperwork in a way that is acceptable to the judge before Jul. 21st. Now that is the new date for divorce. I get to make one more trip into Detroit. Yaaaayyyyy me. Add this with not getting the job, this month is turning into a series of kicks to the nuts rather than change. Ugh.

It's a setback, but a small one. One month is nothing. You could do it standing on your head.

Keeping looking forward. You're on the downslide.

Geez, that sucks. It's like playing a game of monopoly and being stuck on "go".

July 21st will be hear in a snap.

Hopefully by the divorce date you'll have a new job too!

It's a month delay.

Think of it this way, you have so much paperwork you can have a huge bonfire when it's all over. I know that's the way I feel. The box is full and yet I continue to get paperwork/correspondence.

Im sorry you are having such a bad month :(

*hugs*

I hope that I can get divorced on my court date, but my stbx is unpredictable and unreasonable, so right now Im just hoping for not too traumatic.

I hope it all goes better on July 21st. Keep us updated.

I know the feeling about thinking things are going to go a certain way and then having them not work out the way you wanted. My STBX and I have agreed on everything and were supposed to meet on Tuesday with my attorney to sign the papers. Now my STBX has got it in his mind (from friends, family, coworkers, who knows?) that if I have an attorney, he has to have one too. So now I have to wait for him to meet with his attorney and have the 2 attorneys meet, I guess. Hopefully this won't drag this process out too long.
I hope you get your stuff straightened out this time. I am sure that once you are done and have moved on, your life will continue to become brighter and brighter.

It must be the month Blue. Mine sucks too. I just found out that the other woman is moving here and this is a really small town. My kids asked their dad to move there because they don't ever want to meet her, see her etc. but he won't budge. He says he doesn't want to "abandon" his kids. My kids, 20 and 16, told him it's too late, he's already done that so move already! They told him that they will never see him and will move the minute they graduate. He said he's tired of me telling them bad things but I've been encouraging them to talk to their dad. They are old enough to form their own opinions and boy have they! I am so PROUD of them, *laugh* I hope your month gets better. My divorce will be final in July also, so maybe that's the beginning of a better time for both of us! Hang in there.

I'm sorry about all that. You know that old saying when God closes a door he opens a window. There just has to be something better out there for you. Take care and hang in there. Melaine.

Sorry about the failed trip before the judge. Hopefully the paralegal will get the paperwork completed in the manner the Judge wants. My ex's couldn't even spell my name correctly on the papers I was served with.
