The cases I am thinking of are those in which the WAS really has extracted him/herself from the M. The financial matters are separated, the child visition stuff addressed, the households separated, and so on.
Thank you for posting and providing valuable discussion.
What I am quoting fits my situation to a tee. Everything is all done. The WAW has done all of the hard work 16 months ago. All that needs to be done is the D form to be filled out, staple the LS paperwork and marriage certificate to it. An envelope, stamp and a check for $334 and it's all done.
Considering what she has achieved legally, filing for D is a drop in the ocean but from what I'm reading about the analogy of filing taxes, it's just not a priority?????
Anecdotally, she's happy to tell people we are S and leaves it at that.
Unfortunately, I can't determine if the WAW is emotionally D'd. It's not something I have any interest in speculating over.
God Bless, Suit
