Yes, actually, I did it. Worse than taxes. But...it only cost a total of $600 (for both of our filing fees), and were done in 90 days. Neither of us wanted to pay a lawyer.
I'll be honest. It really sucked. We never went to court. Getting that letter in the mail, with the judge's signature... It's not an experience I would care to repeat.
I will say this. I think this approach prevented a lot of animosity on both sides.
Of course, xh trusted me. (And I trusted him.) I can recall standing in front of the counter, getting the documents notarized, and the lady pointed out that xh had missed signing a page. She was startled when he didn't even read it...just leaned over and signed the page.
