Thanks everyone! It's great that I can rely on my DB buddies to ease my mind.
I'm beginning to wonder how they work here in this country. We understood that it would probably take about 6 or 7 months but it's only been a month. I think maybe H is misunderstanding what the court date is for. His sister asked for a delayed court date due to our trips so I do have until at least the middle of June.
The more I think about it the more it seems that this might just be the preliminary thing. I understood that we have to see Cs before its all final.
Here in Venezuela right now nothing is working properly. A friend of mine who is a L said that all the courts are really slow right now. So thats why I'm surprised.
They sell booklets of all the laws in kiosks here so I'll pick up the Divorce Law/Family law booklet ASAP.
We're being very civil about this and it's almost like a business deal. I'm going to ask my friend to come with me when we have the court date so I understand everything I need to sign. I trust H 100% but need to protect myself from the courts not him.
