What is the next step after the Affidavit of Residence Witness

Yes, you are far too nice. I understand about the hope and still loving the butthead. I understand about still caring but I have come to the conclusion that if he doesn't want the whole package (marriage to a wonderful person like me, LOL) then he doesn't need my help either. He can figure it out himself. (I only figured that one out after I loaned him money that he is getting ready to pay back)...My mother-in-law told me to stop enabling him. Let him suffer the consequences of his own actions. I understand, obviously I am struggling with the same type of issues. Hope you get it...

What SHOULD happen is a final court date to dissolve the marriage as that form is a standard and actually should have been filed already....but we are talking about Liker here - and your spineless stbx...so if they end up not agreeing to what was agreed to previously...then you are in for trial - I don't see how that could happen - but look who we are talking about...

With me, for a phone call to answer a question, kinda depends on the client and the case, a simple call like that I usually don't charge for -  other attorneys charge between 1/8th of an hour to 1/4 of an hour of time's cost....

How much would that approximately cost to get an answer from the attorney?

I am curious...

Got it - will do.

I should send him a bill for services rendered...

It is hard for me to let go but I know it has to be done...

If I were you I would have told him to ask you-know-who or it will cost him $5000 estra in the settlement...lol

after the divorce is final tho - no more taking his call and helping him with anything, got it?

to my detriment at times is sucks to be in love with someone who doesn't love me enough to work through adversities in life and follow through with the marriage vows/commitment. I was not worth that much to him yet I still feel compelled to help him...

Being the bigger person helps me heal but there are those moments when I want to say and have said to him:
 "Ya know you really screwed me over in this divorce and I allowed it out of emotional turmoil, love for you, and pure stupidity with still trying to keep our marriage together even in the court room. I stand by my word and even though I didn't make the best choice in the world for me; I want you to know and remember that I have integrity. That I didn't take you to the cleaners and you cannot compare me to the evil games your vindictive manipulative "X" played. That I have done my best to stay in this marriage and still think we could have at least attended counseling."

As you have told me before in cases like mine - the counseling wouldn't have helped much anyway. He has way too much to deal with regarding the "X" and kids. It became easier for him to blame me in the end. A cop out I think but what can I do about it now? Nothing, except be me...

It never ceases to amaze that when he needs something he still comes to me for the advice and help; he knows I will research and not lie to him. Unlike the lies he pulled on me. I have stood my ground in honor. 

This does piss me off but I know the divorce is going through no matter what. I might as well know what he's up to now. Even though everything that was done before this is cruel and shady. I can't continue in self pity and depression. If I live in being upset with hate it will bring me down even more.

I actually feel a freedom with being nice to him. It's weird I know... You are so wonderful and I continue thanking you for your support and kindness. I love your straightforward ways and value your knowledge. Thank you
