Welp, I was having a pretty pleasant day today.
I just took the dog out for a walk and decided to check the mail b/c I hadn't in a few days (all of my important mail goes to my job).

There was a large envelope stuffed in there.
I love to receive mail... so I was like "cool, there's a package!"

I turned it over.... it's from H.

My heart dropped into my stomach....totally unexpected...plus I asked him to mail it to my job, not my apartment. Did what he wanted to per usual.

The dissolution paperwork was inside for me to fill out my end.

I noticed he purposely put my maiden last name on the package.

Also he sent a check for $100, I guess payment towards what he owes me. Also with my maiden name.

It's a starter check, so I guess he's opened an account at a new bank. Hopefully my bank takes this check as he didn't fill in an address. I will definitely be cashing it as I can use it.

He just threw everything into the envelope, so the paper work is all wrinkled/bent. But I will fill out my end tonight, but it in a folder and envelope and mail it back to the PO Box he has listed as his address. Not sure how often he checks this PO Box, but yeah, I'm sure he'll remember to check it at some point.

I'm sure he'll note when the check goes through that I've received everything.

He filled out my address and since he waited so long to send... I will be moving in 2 weeks. So I will probably re-print the petition my self and re-fill it out, notarize it then send it in.

I don't want to put my new address, I don't want him to know where I will be. So I may list my parents address as my mailing address and leave this old apartment address as current residence. I assume the courts will start sending me things I will have to fill out?

*ugh*

I guess I am officially on my way to an un-busted divorce.
Hope this process doesn't drag out so I can put this far behind me.
