Just got the papers

Well, you most likely have a month or less to respond to her petition (otherwise, whatever it says is considered to be factual and uncontested) ... so, you might want to get to it sooner rather than later.

I was served by the Sherriff's office because her attorney is a dick (from speaking with other attorneys it his MO). I'm in the kitchen fixing my sink ... Mofo starts pounding on the door like the damn police (Ope, it IS the police). I answer the door with a foot-long, cast iron monkey wrench in my hand ... the Officer took a step back and said, "Woah there buddy". I was confused at first. Set the wrench down and was like "I was workin' on something".

Also, I'm not your buddy ... pal.

Ugh...that is rough. For me, my doorbell rang and my ex says "oh, that's probably your divorce papers". I couldn't believe it.

Ensure you protect your assets in any case. But get a lawyer on your side immediately.

I was given mine a month ago by a stranger, guess she didn't want to pull the trigger herself. Open the envelope and see if there's anything you own yourself, not jointly, that she's trying to grab from you. And if you haven't gotten an attorney yet- Do not pass go and collect the $200, go get an attorney now. If you have one then share the papers with them. That way you can discuss if there's anything she's trying to grab that you want to keep. And if you have kids then very much you definitely need to open it and see what amount she's asking for in child support.

Get through it brother. There is life after divorce.

I’m 2 years out from where you are, and just over a year from final. I’m honestly happier than ever and I’m doing great.

Tear off the band aid. The sooner it's done the sooner the healing starts.
