WAS asked for divorce today.

[aNewGuy]

So this morning I received a text from my wife, she has received the paperwork I would need to sign for a divorce to be settled after our state's waiting period passes. She is asking for me to go sign it with her next week. Basically the paperwork states we have no children, and that each of us has all of our possessions in our possession. In other words, she is not asking for anything from me.

Here is the deal.... I want reconciliation, not divorce. If I go and sign the papers, then basically we both walk away scott free as far as possessions and future liabilities are concerned. If I do NOT go and sign the papers, then basically a judge WILL still grant the divorce, but can and will decide for us whatgoes where.

So financially it would be in my best interest to go sign, assuming that she will be doing this no matter what.

I am so tired, y'all! Seriously wish I could just put this nightmare to bed and wake up tomorrow with a new beginning to our marriage.

Not sure how to respond to her request for us to both go together next week to sign the papers. Basically, it does NOT MATTER leagally whether I sign them today or I sign them in July, the divorce cannot be final until mid July no matter what.

So not sure if I should just say, "Yes, I will go sign with you next week", or "No, you can go sign whenever you want and I will sign whenever I want". Or something along those lines.

For that matter, my attorney points out, I could actually go and file a motion to waive the waiting period in our state and we could be divorced tomorrow. She could do the same.

I am not sure how to respond to her on this. She is asking for my signature on divorce papers and to make her wait is "More of the same" behavior on my part, but to go sign immediately will look as though I actually want this, which I don't. But if I don't want to spend a fortune fighting this then signing is the financially correct thing to do. Here's the thing.... even if I fight it, she will still eventually get the divorce, but we will both just be much poorer and no idea if fighting it would make "the road home" a lot more bumpy.

So no idea how I will respond to this request for me to go sign next week. Again, financially dumb for me not to sign this...
