I can certainly understand wanting it to be over and done with -- if it has to be then let it be, I say. Is the timeline in your own case for just the big D or are you also trying to settle the custody issue as well? If the latter, that would explain why yours might be taking longer.
For my case, April 3rd, next Friday, is the D hearing. The judge will render my M dead at that point, with no more perfunctory a gesture than handing out a traffic citation.
I am taking that day off, not because I need to be there -- the L's will be there for the two minute ordeal -- I just want to pick up my sons early that day, spend the afternoon with them on such a (personally at the least) solemn day.
I am still so stunned at how easily one person can end a marriage unilaterally, and how the "system" fully supports and encourages it.
