AS - 3 months into our separation, my wife sent me paperwork that is called a simplifed divorce here in my state. Essentially she used a third party to prepare the paperwork and then had it mailed to me. It came in the mail, so I haven't officially been served yet as she hasn't filed essentially. If I were to sign and fill out the information, I would then send it to the 3rd party and they would file on our behalf. It's essentially a clean break with no asset split and no court appearances. Just another example of my W doing what she can to avoid conflict.
I'm not sure if in this case I just go ahead and sign the papers even though I haven't been "served". If I don't sign this, she would then have to file directly and do all of the heavy lifting. I almost fee like her family wants me to sign this to say that I ended the marriage even though that's not really the case.
Good point on my wife being on her best behavior. Hard to imagine someone faking it for the 4 years we have been together. As much as I don't want to say it, I really think she got married for the wrong reasons. Also, when we got engaged, her sister, BIL and their kids were living in the same city as us. Literally every weekend we would all hang out, which didn't bother me. A couple of months later they ended up all moving back to my Wife's home state and now live essentially on the same property as m Wife's parents. My wife just have just broken off our engagement after they moved, but that too is conflict she couldn't handle properly.
What a mess!
Hire a lawyer. Discuss with the lawyer.
WAWs and WWs are notorious for wanting to take the path of least resistance. One of the big wakeup calls to my W was when I contacted a lawyer. She too was trying to go down this path. The thing is if kids are involved this process won't even work.
