Ok - let's say I file for the divorce..But, WH wants to prolong it for probably financial reasons - what reasons can he use to contest?
We are in a no-fault state - my attorney said if you have not acted as husband & wife for 2 years it cannot be contested..
We haven't been acting as H&W since last May - but, I did (darn) go to his daughters wedding and play the "loving wife" in Sept 04.
When I file I do not want him to contest - I want it over with ASAP..

He could claim the marriage is not irreconciliable and a judge could order counseling for up to three months, I think. This can happen in florida, a no-fault. I'm not sure how likely or unlikely that is to happen and I've not known anyone to use it...but it's a possibility.

If WH would give up his many other women - I'd be willing to salvage the M...I just do not see this happening..He was a cake eater - until I exposed his affairs. Now, I'm the bad guy.
I just want to be prepared because this is gonna come down to $$$$ and he'll do whatever he has to - to protect his butt financially. Even if he has to drag it out for years..
Can you be divorced but not have the financial settlement worked out and hold that up in court forever???

The divorce was final, but the settlement was not.
They (middle aged, and both married before) had been married only 2 years.
It took a couple of years before the settlement was settled.
Not a fun time for brother.
