Regarding the divorce stuff
The process is chugging along without any problems ::knock on wood:: The great state of Pennsylvania has a 90 day waiting period where they just make you sit around with your thumb up your ass to see if you are going to change your mind or not. And really, does anyone actually do that? Go through all the hassle and bullshit, shell out a few thousand dollars and then say 'oh gee, i don't think i really want a divorce. i'm so glad PA has a waiting period'. Give me a freakin' break.
However, the rules of the state are also why I have to keep my mouth shut around The Paperweight the majority of the time and come here and say 'FUCK' to you guys. If I piss him off, and he decides to contest the divorce just to be a dick, the waiting period automatically goes from 90 days to two years. And if that happened, I'd be stabbing myself in the head with a fork. Repeatedly.
So, God willing (and please God, I've been so nice lately), the final papers will be signed on October 10th - next Tuesday. It will take another 10 to 20 days after that for the Judge to look at it, sign his/her name, do whatever the hell it is they do (though Lord knows why it takes 20 fucking days to sign a name) and then it's a done deal. So by Halloween, I'll be free.
Free, damn it! I'll be free!!!!!!
At least from him...but not his bullshit, unfortunetly. If I start passing out The Paperweight's phone number to his creditors, it will have to be his work number because I have the feeling his cell will be shut off soon. Yep, another phone call last night stating he's 'behind in his payments'; this time from T-Mobile.
Ass......

arghh...I'd hug ya if I could. Hang in there.
Hurray for freedom!
Thanks for the good wishes. BTW, Franklin is on right now and I just want to know what the hell is wrong with his father--hiking in a coat and tie?
It could be worse. NC has a one year (unofficial) separation before you can even start to file for a divorce. Yep, one year where you can't cohabitate (and if you do then the year has to start over again).
Fortuanately I moved out of state and didn't give my new contact information to my ex (no kids). Unfortunately he wouldn't answer the door when the sherrif went by to give him the papers, so it dragged out another six months.
I'm glad it's almost over for you. Enjoy your freedom!
In NY you either have to be legally separated for one year before you can file or you have to file with grounds - adultery, abandonment, or cruel and unusual treatment. The last one winds up being the catch-all that everyone files under. For me the "cruel and unusual" reasons were because the ex could not keep a job. Luckily since he couldn't keep a job, he couldn't afford a lawyer to contest the divorce, he defaulted and it went thru on my terms. ;)
Hang in there girl!!!
In MD it's a year and if the other contests, it's 2 years. Hubby's EX almost made us wait the 2 years, but he told her he'd give up over night rights and move in with me anyway if she didn't sign, she signed.
Hang in there, it's almost over.
It's lovely that he likes to share...GAG, what a jerk
I'll keep my fingers crossed that everything goes smoothly.
So I'm behind in my reading, I really need to put your blog on my site, so I don't have to hit it from LoisLane's.
Hope that the papers were delivered and the ink is almost on them.
Yeah, MD is separated for a year before you can even file. Pain in the ass. But, it definately is worth it. You'll see, once it's over.
I say give out the work #. How about family? Can you give a family member's number to reach him? What a jerk.
Keep hanging in there. And about that blanket statement. Good for you.
