How can she have a decree already, you haven't been to court yet? (If I've forgotten something, I'm sorry)....
Stop talking to this other couple now. It won't help. If they tell you something, they are trying to help you, but their information isn't completely helpful...and it isn't set in stone.
Tell her you are not going to be able to get the money together until next week.....things are really tight for you now and you're having a hard time managing.
You'll take the papers but you'll need to look them over, and you don't have enough time tonight. You don't know how long it will take.
I'm really sorry this day is so tough.
Do you have a great friend you can go see a movie with or let off steam (I don't really know what guys do). But do your (good) thing.
Do a lot of it. She is not first right now.
And it isn't as bad as it seems.
AND it WILL get better.
Scott, I am not 'about' divorce and not 'about' advising anyone about it. Yet I am divorced and have 'been there' and I can't imagine that at this point in time there would be any paperwork in place that would be reasonable to your situation. I could well be wrong.
