Eyes on the next curve

[Bird]

Hi Coly,

Thanks for your kind words.

I think dissolution is a fancy legalese word for divorce. In my state, the heavy lifting & negotiating is done for the separation agreement. That's custody, support, alimony - everything has already been negotiated and agreed upon by H and I. Once the separation agreement is in place for 12 months, your lawyer files the divorce papers and that's it. But there is a relatively new "no fault" condition here, where you attest that the marriage has been irretrievably broken for 6 months. So rather than tie myself in knots for yet another year, I'm going to go with that option. Once the separation agreement has been filed, I will have my atty serve him with the divorce summons and that will be it. If he wakes up and I'm still around, maybe we can work on it. But I'm not going to waste the rest of my relatively young life waiting on a maybe.
