Well, after close to 2.5 years of anxiety, stress, sadness, anger, and resentment, my divorce is finally done. We went through the collaborative process and on Friday 1/30), the judge signed off on our Judgement of Divorce and waived the mandatory 6 month waiting period since we have 3 kids.

Not much has changed in all honesty. Living in my new house right behind the old one for over 2 months which is super convenient for the kids and us. Been alternating our 50/50 custody with the kids already and communication is there as we are focused on the kids and not pettiness. I am lucky with everything finance wise that I didn't get raked over the coals compared to a lot of you guys.

The collaborative process was beneficial both from a business transaction perspective and financial for not paying as much in attorney fees.

Dating is another story for me. Online dating is a joke and every where you go, things are pricey.

Hope that those going through this now get screwed over and you can find your happiness afterwards!
