Re the D papers - she might be in 2 minds what to do so she's stalling (my H did this for 2 years, in the end I divorced him just to get it over with), or it may just take ages.

When I filed it took several weeks for the papers to be served to H (he still refused to sign) and then it was 4 months from the unsigned papers being sent to the court until the decree nisi came through.

Then it was another 4 months after the decree nisi before the D was final, so the whole process took about 9 months.

This is English law, though, and it might be different in your country.

I would just try to put it out of your mind. The number of times H said he wanted a D and then didn't, well, half of what the WAS say is rubbish, and even if she's serious, you will upset yourself worrying so you might as well just carry on enjoying her and D3's company.

Re Barnes and Noble, my stomach flipped over when I read that because my book is going to be in Barnes and Noble

Best Wishes,

Jo.

PS: waiting for publisher's is more nerve racking than waiting for H and kids!
