Well, I finally got off my ass this week and contacted a law firm to file for an uncontested divorce.
There is a Florida law firm that will prepare all the paperwork, file the papers and represent me in court so that we don't even have to show up. All for a flat fee of $399 plus the filing fee of $397.50.
Wife moved out at the beginning of March. After 2 months we had a long talk and she said she wasn't coming back. She bought a new car and I bought a used 2008 Harley Heritage Classic Anniversary Edition. Not a bad trade. :laugh:
But, in the back of my mind, I still held out hope that she just needed some alone time or her space and that she might still be back.
Another 2 1/2 months pass and I find out that she is dating her boss. :angry:
After the initial being pissed, we have another long talk and I finally realize (make that - got it through my thick skull) that it is definitely over. We just do not want the same things out of life.
She moved out all the stuff she wanted and we split the checking & saving accounts. She is not going after any of my 401K.
Papers are here all signed and notarized, in a Priority Flat Rate envelope, waiting to be mailed on Monday morning.
I have had a calm presence this whole past week. Guess all I needed to get past this was starting the divorce process.
She says we were married 10 years.
It would have been 10 years on March 31st, she moved out on March 3rd so I'm not giving her that one. :whistling:
Had to list the house on short sale because we're somewhere in the neighborhood of $58,000 upside down and I can’t afford to keep paying the full mortgage by myself. Now, if the bank would only let me refinance for the appraised value, I'd keep the house. I called them and tried to talk to them, but they wouldn’t even listen. Realtor said the bank may come back with an offer, I told him I already called them and they didn’t want to talk, but he said it is different now that I have a realtor involved. We shall see.
Looks like I'll be single again in 30 to 45 days.
Thanks for letting me ramble on.
