Arleen, I am so sorry to read about your situation, you must have been through the wringer with all of this happening in 6 weeks! You must be shell-shocked. I have never heard of such a speedy divorce before, especially with children and a 13 year marriage and no separation. I didn't know that was possible in any state or country to get a divorce in 6 weeks, except in cases of proven infidelity or abuse, and even then, the courts usually move slower than that.

I want to say, do not listen to friends about decisions like moving out, only listen to your attorney. I hope you have a good one!

I am so very sorry for you, and for the children. Have none of you talked to them about the divorce? Do they really know nothing?
