Kerry - I do plan to have all the documents prepared before I leave so they can be served to D right after I get back.

D will (by law) have 20 days to respond via legal counsel OR he can simply agree to my new terms and be done with it. If there is ANY chance he chooses to agree I want to be here (as in not out of town) because I don't want to give him too much time to think about it. If he agrees to sign I will get that document signed in TEN MINUTES, lol!

D is a very smart man so I am hoping once he factors in the cost for him to retain counsel again (and he knows I will be asking for legal fees so that will double his price for the SECOND time) he will realize that same amount of money can be applied to health insurance.

D's GF thinks we are divorced. She will learn otherwise when the process server shows up at THEIR door. In a way I sort of feel bad for her (not really, lol!) because D very much kept her in the dark about the legal case. In my heart of hearts I don't think she had ANY idea how much trouble she would have been in (legally) had I not conceded to the separation. Too bad and not my problem!
