Mr. A filed for divorce on 3/15/10 and - we learned later - our first court date was on 5/12. It was a pretrial conference during which we were ordered to schedule and carry out mediation prior to our final hearing, which was scheduled then for 6/23. If you've been following my thread, you probably already know that the final hearing was postponed the first time.
Anyhow, the court thing on 5/12 totally mobilized me. I don't know where my mind was before that day, but after that day I was like, OMG - I need to get things in order! Mr. A could come here anytime to carry out the stuff we discussed today, and I want it to look like I'm happy, fulfilled, and MOVING ON!!! I changed the house around, I took down all of his pictures - I was a BEAST!!
