Thanks so much for the responses. I had a chance to read them before I went to the courthouse, and kept in mind that I deserve better.
I felt like we were at the DMV. Very short wait, and then a clerk that just looked over the paperwork, stamped it and took our checks. In and out in 15 minutes. So, next up is the financial statements, etc. and I am cautiously optimistic that he won't try any funny stuff. If he does, I won't hesitate to retain an attorney.
After we wrapped up and were walking out, I told him I was glad we could get through this stuff "friendly-like" and he agreed. Actually he was very quiet throughout. I think he intended to give me a hug, but I said have a good day and we went our separate ways. I decided to stop by a microbrew place downtown and ended up having lunch, a couple beers, and played some pool upstairs which is a old love of mine.
All in all, it went very well. I'm ready for a new chapter in my life. I know I did everything I could, but in the end H didn't want me. So, brighter days ahead! I feel about 175lbs lighter today. Haha!
