Just got off the phone with my attorneys office. WH did it he filed the divorce papers.

Funny part is though there is no court date. I asked the attorney when do we go to court , he said there is no court date. I asked why? He said because they didn't request one.
I asked was this unusual he said yes but it happens sometimes.

Why would they not request a court date? I don't understand this...

We do have court on Jan.11 for a resolution meeting due to my LS papers. He said we will meet at court with him and his attorney and discuss what we both want and if we should leave this as LS or go for divorce.

I'm not sure what to do now......

My mom thinks not court date was selected because he wants a reaction out of me..... I don't know but I do know it makes no sense.....


I knew this would probably happen but it still hurts no matter how I tried to be prepared.....

Hurting, I'm sorry to hear this. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> It may be a date has not been set yet due to your H job, he has to figure a day he can take off of work.

Thank you Cat......

I still can't believe he is going to throw away our whole lives like this.... 24 yrs of marriage gone like that ...

It really hurts bad

Lady as far as that goes it really does not matter. All he has to do is ell them at work when he needs to be in town and they will get him back..... The court won't work around his scheduale he has to work around the judges...

I am so sorry for your pain. I feel very bad for you. Don't read too much into the no date thing. Probably some sick strategy of the other Atty or something. I wish I could offer you something to hold on to.

I will pray for you though and right now. All our love (the appropriate kind <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ) pours out to you and others like you.

What do you mean? You are not divorced! This is hardly the end.

How can you believe something that hasn't happened? Hurting, this is far from over, it is just part of the process. There is no difference in your situation today than there was yesterday. Seriously.

I just don't believe it is over yet either. My H and I were separated for over two years, papers drawn up several times, we were just to cheap to file. Everyone actually thought we were already divorced.

If your WH wants to D you, so be it. But that doesn't mean that you H is gone forever.

Mel,

I know your right, it just feels so final with him actually filing the papers.

I know its not done and over yet.... I wish I knew what to say or do at the mediation meeting... Do i go along with him or what ????

I don't want this divorce but how can I stop him???? I don't think I can ..... I don't know what to do

Jean, I know your right as well , thats what my mom keeps telling me .... Its only a piece of paper means nothing....

It really doesn't make sense. All I know is I am tired of him continually breaking your heart. You are a good woman, and have done all to save your marriage, and I know you will continue to do your best whatever may happen. I wish I was there to give you a big hug. May God help you and comfort you Hurting.

Blessings,
Lady

Hurting, During a LS, is it required that the other spouse countersue. Or is that only on a divorce filing?

I don't want to give up ..... I just don't see what I can do now .....

Now I know I have to see him on Jan. 11 .... How am I going to handle that? I don't want to agree to a divorce but do I have any choices about it? Nope don't think so ....

I really don't know what else to do ....

No Lady its not required. After I filed the LS he had the divorce papers drawn up but decided against signing them.

So they answered the petition of LS and we came to an agreement. Now since he decided to file the divorce he didn't have to sign the LS papers but he is still has a court order against him to pay the CS and SS.

So basiclly we are in limbo until the 11 and its decided if it will be LS or divorce.... I know what my vote is but I don't think it will count much.... He can get this divorce without me agreeing....

I wonder if OW found out he didn't file it and pushed it some more.... The no court date thing still has me baffled though .... When they filed the LS we knew that day when the court date was. They set the court date the day its filed....

No Hurting, do not agree on divorce. Your attorney will know how to handle that. He knows you are trying to save your marriage, not divorce. He needs to tell the judge what your plans have been all along. You only filed for legal sep. because your H is having an affair, out of the house, and not taking care of any financial responsiblilities. But you never wanted divorce. You want him to come home and reconcile the marriage.

Lady,

Thats what I am gong to say but I doubt it will make any difference. About all that will do is piss WH off even more but at this point who cares....

I don't know the law but I would think he could get the divorce without my agreeing.... I have no clue .... This is something i am going to find out for sure..

I don't know if he could either, but you keep your words. You will not agree to divorce.
