I received an email from my L today saying there’s been no response from X to the divorce papers we sent two weeks ago. My L was explicit in her cover letter that he wouldn’t have to pay anything. Just sign and return the papers.
I was hoping to be divorced by my birthday at the end of July, but it’s not looking likely at this point. It takes a month and one day after final judgement for the divorce to be official. Fingers crossed X responds soon.
