Thanks for your posts. Azhira, it sounds as if you did it yourselves. I have looked into that, but everyone tells me to then have an attorney look at it anyway, so I figure I may as well just get it done professionally.

Alamogirl - thanks for your kind words. I am thinking the same way as to letting her know beforehand. My stbx and I agreed that we would not have each other served.

I did not sleep well last night as I plan to call her today and hopefully arrange a meeting to get my cell phone off her plan (evidently it is better to have the plan originator sign the paperwork to alter a cell phone plan - this way I get to keep my # and save $ from having to start a new plan). Hopefully she will agree to meet and I will then be able to discuss the attorney and some financial issues. If not, I will simply discuss the divorce matter over the phone. My intention is to get this done before the end of the year and not have this nightmare continue into 2008.
