Labug,

I see what you mean by mind reading.

Regarding the lawyer, I had to file a response within 30 days or her demands would be honored by default. She did not respond to my request for an extension. I suppose I could have asked the same question 2 or 3 times, but wouldn't that constitute pursual or harassment? Keep in mind that she snuck down to courthouse and filed for divorce without consulting with me. She HAS told me that her position is non-negotiable, and also did not include her retirement on income and expenses financials. She was hoping that I would overlook it. I suppose that is mind reading as well, although I doubt it.

Regarding the trips and her response that she wouldn't have gone without me, I suppose that I did read into her statement. I was hoping that she would miss me, but that appears to be wishful thinking on my part. Again, it APPEARS that she is quite comfortable moving ahead in her new life without me.

For the record, I don't want this divorce. I would at least like to try to fix things, but that's not going to happen. By filing divorce, she initiated a legal action that requires prompt and timely responses. I will protect myself with legal representation, but I am in no hurry to complete the process.
