The waiver referenced in my last post is this. In the State of Utah the law requires a 90 day cooling off period before the court will even look at a divorce petition. However, there is a waiver that can be issued to allow the proceedings to occur immediately. When W initially asked me to sign the waiver I said that I would agree to sign the waiver, but after researching the waiver and spending a lot of time praying I changed my mind and decided not to sign the waiver. The purpose of the waiver is to allow the divorce to proceed in extreme cases when there is an imminent risk of serious injury or death if the couple stays married. Based on the purpose of the law I decided that it wasn't a good idea to agree to something like that.
