Thanks for that planb it helps to hear that so I can stop focussing on all the double talk 'cause there has been lots of it.

I also just realized that I actually have an "ace in the hole" so to speak with the D papers. You see, last September, I was frustrated, angry and just wanted to get this whole thing over with. We already had our separation agreement in place so I figured I may as well just file for D. I drew up the joint petition and sent it to H to ask him to sign. He responded saying he wasn't in any hurry for that and never signed the papers.

So, still in my "I want this over with" mind set, I instead went to the courthourse and filed my own petition for D and had him served. The timeline for response came and went and nothing from him or his L. The courthouse told me that I had to wait until the 1 year of separation was up, (which was December), before I could submit my final paperwork and then, 30 days later if there was no response, D would be final.

Well, I still haven't taken my final paperwork in. There has been absolutely zero talk of D and I think I'll just keep it that way for now.
