They do all three, depending on the species

Grav is a fruit

And is he a batty man or merely batty?

There are few things that I am not.

A fruit is one.

:D

I'm divorced
 

Officially. I just heard from my lawyer. It became effective as of March 25th.

So, I've got that going for me.

onwards!

Huh. Tapatalk does not show post titles. For those using it, it says 'I'm divorced' .

Woot

Bugs me how long that stuff takes. Says nothing about the currently involved parties, as my parents were as amicable as could possibly be, and presented an already-agreed-upon settlement to the courts without even using lawyers, yet theirs still took a year to get finalized.

What bugs me is how little my lawyer told me about the process. And the lack of any kind of alacrity in replying to my questions. I don't know if she just wasn't interested in my case because there was nothing being argued over...but I basically had to kick her along in front of me the whole time. When we settled on Jan 29th, she said it would probably all be done by the end of Feb. No delays... no unexpected issues... just 2 months of I don't know what went by between the two dates.

whatever. it's all behind me now.

Yeah, my experience is that that's how all family-law lawyers are. In a good number of cases one or both parties is extremely irate and out for blood, so they are calling every day asking for updates and demanding that their lawyer pummel their ex into the ground and burn the remains. The high-maintenance clients get the attention, and everyone else just sort of waits around wondering why they haven't heard back yet.

*taking notes*

Like Jim said, they don't tell you shit, and in PA it's lack of laws covering divorce. The judges and divorce lawyers sit down and decide how it will be done, which varies greatly from county to county. For instance whether property settlement comes before or after the divorce.

You have no choice, the rules they agreed on in the back room has the court's power and becomes coatroom law. :mad:

Congrats Jim. Now that I type it out loud, it sounds weirdly wrong.

Whatever.

Huge milestone, huge. You sound good, that makes me happy.

Ya gonna go again?

I've been mulling over how to respond, but I'm going to borrow V's post, 'cause it pretty much says what I was trying to find a way of saying :p
