Hey beauty! I'll hop on over and check out your sitch later today.

W left me 7/27/07. She filed almost immediately, court accepted filing on 8/21. Texas makes you wait 60 days before finalizing, so that took us to 10/21. She still hadn't served me or anything. I gave in, settled with W for $5,000 (just arbitrary number to not make it completely painless for her) and signed the "waiver of service" on 12/21. W then had everything she needed to finalize. She never did. Once I gave her what she wanted, she realized she still wasn't happy and dropped the idea.

In Texas, the court gives six months for a filed divorce to be finalized, then they throw it out. On 3/6/08 the divorce was thrown out.

So, now you can see why I tell Michelle and everyone else on here: divorce is a long process! Filing means nothing. Really, none of this legal stuff is worth getting worked up about.

Our miserable spouses still have to do some genuine work to get a divorce, and most of the time they don't follow through on it. And every step of the way is a chance for more DBing.
