J/K,
IMHO it's in everyone's best interest to come to an agreement without involving lawyers if at all possible.
A no-fault DIY divorce costs $90 (last time I did one) and covers most everything.
(If you're doing Alimony and Child support/Custody it might require more legal oversight though.)

The only ones who really benefit from getting overly litigious are the lawyers.

Enjoy the roller coaster ride...

The only ones who really benefit from getting married are the gvt, lawyers, LEO, S&W, Bars, Real Estate brokers, psychologists, wedding planners, etc.
Fixed it for ya!

Here's some divorce advice:

Get a cheap rainsuit, extra shoes, some rope, a machete (or chainsaw), some drop-cloth, some lime, a shovel, a pickaxe.......

You all are funny. We are doing a DIY divorce. So far things are going OK. Except one huge issue. We are talking and working it out.
I want this over with so I can get on with my life and live that way I want to, not the way she see's fit.

I hope the DIY works out for you. I tried that route but eventually had to call a lawyer because I could not get the ex to file the one piece of paperwork I couldn't do for him. It took a lot longer and a lot more money but it least it got done. It only took another 4 years to get his name off the one piece of joint property we had. Had to have the lawyer take care of that too because again I couldn't get him to sign the paperwork. More money down the drain but I am finally completely free.

I did the DIY divorce, it was cheap and easy even with three kids involved, we went in small steps as far as agreeing to things, we met weekly, finally I gathered all the paperwork had it signed and notarized went to court and bingo, I know pronounce you divorced. There are a ton of websites on the DIY divorce, the only thing the courts will require is that you have all the forms completed, signed and notarized. Google it to make sure you get all the forms.

I did the DIY divorce without issues....nothing contended, nothing ongoing...we even drove together to the courthouse. If you can be friendly enough and open enough not to want to screw each other over, it was super easy.

Here, I did a DIY with 2 hours advice from a lawyer on what to file, HOW to file, and what to say, while the idiot X2 got a lawyer and paid probably $4k+.......and ended up with the same custody I would have freely given her if she'd only been reasonable and talked to me about it. for now, I'm happy with the custody as I don't have a house yet. Wehn I do, I'll simply go back to my lawyer, get some more advice, and file myself for more custody.

Best of luck. And if that doesn't work, well, there's always my first suggestion.....:)

When my first ex and I went to file our DIY papers with the clerk we were joking and smiling so much the clerk said she
thought we were there for a marraige license not a divorce.

So to convince the clerk we were serious I demanded the fine china and my ex called dibs on the power tools. :)

I think we have solved our last issue. As per a good person's advice, we are waiting 48 hours to think things over before we totally agree and write it down.
I have done lots of research online, there is tons of info out there. Our state's judicial website is actually pretty good for DIY divorces. At 1st it all seemed overwellming, but now it seems pretty easy.

Its kinda like The Joker said: "If you're good at something, never do it for free. "
In this case - don't necessarily do it in public

Did you notice a marraige license is like $45 and a divorce decree is around $90?

Know why?......'Cause it's worth it.

Tip: Freeze body SOLID before dismembering. This will alleviate much of the mess in fluid loss. Clean up will be much easier. :)

And, if you have the money, rent an industrial-size chipper-shredder. Works much faster than the homeowner type, eh?!:)

I did as well, and I'm sure a lot of other people took theirs seriously too. But, over time people DO change. Some for the better, some for the worse. Sometimes you grow closer together, sometimes apart. I don't think anyone goes into marriage with the intent to divorce.

If it's working for you, congrats, and best of luck that it will always be that way, truly.

Too bad she didn't though.

As long as things stay civil then a DIY will work. If a sign of complication arises just look for help cause it will be worth the time and effort you save.

Honestly, so did I.

But is it so much to ask that your wife at least TRY to get along with your girlfriend?:dunno:

Not if your wife is bi its most certainly not too much to ask. Its practically part of the vows I'd think! :lol:
