Gardener- luckily for me, I don't foresee any issues with stbxh not changing his address in a timely manner now that he has an "official" residence. It is confusing to me though that he didn't change his address when he rented that empty apartment for 6 months...what a waste of $800 per month! BUT IF I AM WRONG and stbxh stalls on the address change, I will remember to not break the law and do it myself!
Red, your example of how your FIL started being decent at the last hour of his life still shows that people are capable of changing. We know they can change for the worse, but apparently they can for the better. It is a strange phenomenon where the wayward spouse is so self absorbed that they are not able to empathize with their betrayed spouse- especially in my stbxh's case where his ex wife cheated on him! So wtf?!
