Thanks 7720! The only concern I had on the debt was that W may have even more hidden that I don't know about, but now that the D is done I am totally insulated against any hidden debt she may have, and any future debt she accumulates.
And on that note, the D is done. It is honestly a bit surprising that a 21 year marriage can be ended so quickly, seems like it took forever for us to get married, hahaha! We were the first ones on the court docket so we were in and out in less than an hour. I've got to say that W's lawyer made the whole process run much smoother, she knew exactly what to present to the judge and how to present it. I think we would have been a little lost otherwise, so I can see the value in having a L even if both parties agree on everything.
Right now I'm not really feeling anything over the M ending, kind of ambivalent really. Not sure if that's because I'm in shock at it being over so fast or (more likely) because this is really just a formality on a M that was already over.
I'm going to open a new thread on Surviving the Big D and will post there from now on, but I will continue to read and post to other people's threads here too
