{{{TxMom}}}} hugs. When I was having trouble missing my H day by day, someone told me to not to think of another day without my H, think of it as one more day closer to them coming home. Some days that works for me.
I will also not file for D, but I do think I am going to get a couple of atty advice since we are in the state of Texas and I hear it is not a good place to be for D. 60 days and no waiting period even though I hear that might change in January 2009 to a year grace period to file. I pray that happens. Also since this is a fault state, if there is an OP involved it gives you ground for adultery which if my H serves me that is the route I plan on going just to delay as long as possible till one of them gets tired waiting.
Take care and hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.
Texas is a "no fault" state. Your spouse can D you in 62 days without you ever signing a piece of paper.
The grace period change is news to me. I'd ask my L but it is $200/hr Google found no mention.
My advice? Don't bother counter-suing for adultery. Adultery is impossible to prove unless you have a porn-movie of them going at it, and even then it won't make a difference in the end. Sure, you get to have the fun of watching them squirm in court, but remember, you are paying (big time) for the privilege. Save your money.
Adultery is all too common these days. It really isn't a big deal to judges anymore.
PS: I am not a lawyer and you should get legal advice from someone who is.
