You know, I realized this morning, that to my knowledge, D6 does not lie to me, but STBX has a rather extensive, significant and recent history - so why am I taking his word over hers? She may have distorted it a bit - but I'm going to choose to believe her. Anyway- he knows I'm paying attention now, for whatever that's worth.
As to your legal question - We have all the documents (child custody, child support and property division) signed and blessed (or rather rubber stamped) by a judge. Basically in California - when a divorce is filed they immediately assign a final court date 6 months out. In most cases when the parties fight about anything, the date gets pushed back. Since we agreed on everything it looks like it will still happen on time mid April. I don't think we even need to be there since signatures are notarized on everything.
