Please don't wait and go see an L now. I don't know how it works where you are but here in the UK an initial consultation with an L is free. I can almost guarantee that he won't hand you the forms by the date given. in fact he will most likely forget what you agreed altogether, you know what these Midlife's memory is like. My H can't even remember conversations we had a few days earlier. It won't hurt to just find out for sure where it is you legally stand because what he thinks will happen is possibly not right anyway. My H was convinced when he filed that it would only take 7 months, we're almost 3 years in to the divorce process, and that everything would be split 50/50 and it's not. He's spoken to I don't know how many L to try and get a different answer and dragged me through months of mediation only for him to then pull the plug on that just as we were reaching a conclusion. Anything could happen and he could try anything so just take some time to find out where you stand. You have got this Cardinal. Hugs
