I think I belong here #3

[TL72*]

GA - I can relate, mine moved very fast and the divorce was final in 60 days. Make him do all the work, that will buy you some time. Once he gives you the papers, tell him thank you and that you are taking them to your attorney to look over. When I got the papers, there were things I wanted changed and he said just write it on there what you want and i'll have them changed. So I took a few days and wrote on there the changes and gave them back. That buys some time, then he has to take them back to the attorney to have new copies drawn up. I was even marking up typo's (yes there were a couple). So he gave me the papers back and then you have time before you sign. I think it depends on your state but you don't have to sign them right then, here it was like 30 days, but I took them to an attorney for review (free consultation!) she said they looked good and I was getting the most out of it (exH was feeling guilty I think and let me have everything basically just walking away). Like you - I thought there is no reason for me to delay this, I can't fix it, can't change his mind, i'm going to set him free so I signed right there on the spot. I was married over 10 years but that never even occurred to me. Since mid August is only 3.5 months away, you could easily move slowly on it. You can ask a lawyer if it really matters, they'll give you a free consult. If he/she says no, then follow your heart. If they say yes it matters then just move at a snails pace. It is just a piece of paper and I totally get the setting him free thing, but just make sure your bases are covered before rushing in.
