still working on this 8 hours ago

I left my husband in 2007.
I have been struggling to get my lawyer to take my case seriously.
Paperwork SHOULD have been done up May 2009. Lawyer told me in August 2009 that he didn’t realize he was required to do it and suggested I do the paperwork myself, despite admiting that since my ex was such a jerk over and over and made things so difficult over and over that I would need a lawyer to complete it.
The agreement all 4 of us had was that MY LAWYER was to do the paperwork.
Still waiting for the papers to be filed. Every contact with my lawyer is that he only needs “one more thing” and then he can file… its been over a month since the last promise and the papers are still unfiled.
I have now had to write to the senior partner above him regarding how he has not treated me or my concerns in a professional or respectful way.

This is taking forever 12 months ago

I had my hearing in the middle of October and the judge signed it off for me and said that it would be final upon entry of judgment on the books. So…I’m just waiting for that letter to come in the mail to tell me that I’m legally single! Woohoo!

Another one of those things that’s taking too damn long. I finally got off my ass and sent some paperwork to the ex. Now I have to wait for her to fill it out, sign it, get it noterized, and mailed back so I can take it to the judge. It took me months to mail that thing. I’m an idiot.



it is finished! 17 months ago

I filed the final judgment this week. Whew! It took longer than I thought it would and I’m relieved that it’s done. Now I need to press for back child support. Perhaps it will never really be over…

One more form to notarize and send to the judge. Then I wait to see if the defendant sends back the form as well. This whole process has taken longer than I thought it would and I just want it over with. I feel divorced, I look divorced, I say I’m divorced (easier that way) so just wish it was official. I’m not involved with anyone so it’s not that—it’s just a status thing I guess.
