How did you tell your X that you filed?

[JMC]

I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that my M is all but done, and as a result would like to get the divorce completed before the end of the calendar year. It should be a simple division of assets and debt, and we have talked in the past about using one attorney to save costs. Hence, I will need to file.

I have contacted an attorney, but need to file the paperwork to get the ball rolling. I would like to alert my WAW that I plan to file some time this week if possible. My guess is that this would be the polite way to get things started. For those of you that did file, how did you do it....did you tell your WAS that you were going to file?

Thanks for any help!
