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.
Are you looking for opinions on what you should do?
I'm kind of puzzled by your questions, if you have a lawyer, he should be able to answer all of your legal questions easily, that's what you have him for right?
Are you asking if you should file for divorce or if you should wait for your spouse to file for divorce?
If you wait for him to file for divorce, you will be served paperwork, you will consult your lawyer and the process will be in motion at that point controlled by the lawyers and courts.
If you file for divorce, he will be served with papers but the process is still the same.
