Decided to start writing about my divorce process... One thing I have chosen to change.. the term in which we all have accustomed to hearing... "Ex-husband"... I refer to my soon to be ex-husband as my last roommate. He was in fact my live-in boyfriend for much longer than the title of husband. I want a show of hands... who HATES the complications that the divorce process can bring.
I remember speaking to my attorney in the beginning and totally approaching this like a woman would, with feelings. Her comment to me, think of this like a business contract... really... REALLY... where was that in wedding manual. SUCH CRAP. So ladies, I am not a marriage hater, nor man hater - I love men... have you seen MATT DAMON! But my point is, even though we are supposed to be married for love, we divorce by way of business savviness?
Just as an add... you need to be savvy with your attorney as well! There are a few things I am happy with and a few things I am not... but I guess we call that a learning curve.
Feel free to add your comments!!!

ReplyDeleteI still like the term 'hasbeend'. I agree that divorce STINKS. Even after 7.5 yrs, it still stinks. And mine was 'easy'.
ReplyDeleteI am raising my hand!! I am still waiting for him to respond to the divorce papers I served him with. He was a control freak for our whole marriage so I am sure he is going to drag it out. argh. But I did get my two amazing kids out of the marriage and they are my life!!
