Bringing this over from your old thread, Luke. _______________________________________
There is no let-up:
W is pushing it again, just asked me if I had had a chance to think about weekend's BD. Says she thinks D and new lives would be better for both of us. I said she may well be right, but that this was still a shock. She says you've known 10 years, I say, yes, but it is still a shock.
She explains that we should do paperwork now, as there is a 6 month waiting period, given that our daughter is still 15. After 16, there is no waiting period. I said I needed to think.
What to do? I leave for US in 36 hours. Filing here (Sweden) starts a clock ticking, as I understand it, D is final after a year:
A legal separation period is not a preliminary requirement under Swedish law. However, both parties will go through a reconsideration period under two scenarios: firstly, if both parties request for a reconsideration period. Secondly, they have a child below the age of 16.[20]
If one spouse does not consent to the divorce, a reconsideration of 6 months will follow before the divorce.
