67 pages of questions?!
My divorce attorney sent me what he called a "questionarre" to fill out before our first hearing and it is 67 freaking pages long?! If I wasn't so miserable, this alone would be enough to give me second thoughts :crazy:

6. Yes, that's it
Every step of the way I had people asking me "Are you sure you want to do this?"

No, I really enjoy putting myself through a meatgrinder daily. Thanks for asking. :eyes:


:banghead:

You get some of the whiff of the "women don't know their own minds" mentality that used to permiate the civil atmosphere.

9. I can see how it would feel like that
But I went through the same interrogation as a male.

"Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Was it really that bad?"

Etc, etc.

10. I know!
I mean it's not like I just woke up one day with my panties in a twist and thought "Hmmmm, maybe I'll go get a divorce attorney! That'll spice things up". And some of the questions are totally invasive :eyes:

3. Yuck!
67 pages. Kee-rist what is so involved that it takes 67 pages?

I got a separation agreement before hand, so the actual divorce was much less involved.

Much luck to you, mcctatas. :hug:

7. Thank you...
the odd thing is I actually feel better than I have in years knowing that there is an end in sight, that makes me sound like a heartless bitch but really I feel like my life might not suck forever.

4. You never know what kind of person you really married...
...until you see them in divorce court.

Hopefully third times the charm here.

13. I'm gonna try that "do your own divorce" thing.
I hope there isn't some monstrous stupid questionnaire in it.

15. I think it could all be accomplished in a single page.
Just one question, with a yes/no check box: Is your spouse a fucking asshole? :graybox:

What else is needed? :shrug:

17. Gee, they should make people do this to get married, not divorced.
But I'm sure that wouldn't fly.
