d could stand for 'dumb' but i have a few dumb questions so please bear with me.
this is my first d so i really don't know the process works. how do you know if WAS filed for d? what is the process? i want to be prepare when h files. my l told me that i will know when i am served personally (ie. h physically hands me papers).
so when does that happen? do we have to have our legal separation agreement completed/signed before this happens? or can you begin filing without this paperwork?
in some advice given here, sometimes we are advised to validate the was and then agree that was and i should d. and then go ahead and file.
if i were to go ahead and file, what has to be done? do i tell my l so he can get the paperwork going? i have only been separated for 6 months. i know that i need to wait a year. but i can file now and get the d ball rolling.
