waiting period

I'm so sorry he's done this to you and the kids, that's horrible to hear. Lots of advice to follow, but here's my experience in this awful field. About 3 months ago I found out my wife was having an…

First Connection After — Not quite divorced yet, 9 months into a 12 month waiting period, but had my first new emotional connection recently. Man it has fucked me up. While I think I have been ok with the divorce for a while …

Hell no. The longest time period is in Vermont where there is a 6 month separation and 3 month decree nisi period. 3 years is TRIPLE the longest waiting period in the U.S.

I don’t think that changes the point though. If you have a 1 year waiting period before you can attempt to file paperwork and it’s still 3 years afterward, you’re now nearly half a decade deep.

You're right, of course. There were a few things: 1. One-year waiting period before I could file for divorce, and a month or two into that before my ex sued me for equitable distribution. 2. My ex's…

The first helpful thing is to treat attraction like a wave instead of a command. A strong feeling can be fully sincere and still not require immediate action. Give yourself a waiting period before ext…

Just wanted to agree with comment above that this should be up very high in the comments (which it is). OP isn’t responding but he needs to get tested for STDS (both immediately and then again after t…

Thank you for sharing your story and Congratulations! I was just crying about not having a home this morning and now I feel like I need to do some revision. And be grateful for the waiting period.

NYS doesn't require a 6 month waiting period for a 1 month marriage. Just file for an annulment my friend.

I'm a little confused on the divorce process as a whole but they both signed in agreement to the assets split 50/50 and submitted the paperwork a few weeks ago at the courthouse. Arizona has a 60-day …

Only if the paperwork has been filed and you're in the waiting period, at the very least.

If she is in the US she can try the DV hotline, a lot of other countries have one too. Threatening to take the kids, taking her keys, and that type of behavior is coercive control. Not all states reco…

>Its been almost a year since they decided to divorce  If they both agree on this and if there's some sort of documentation of this decision (e.g. text messages about it), then they may be able to ba…

Regardless of what people here say, only you know if you’re ready to date. I’ve known people who were dating days after a divorce. Hell, my exe was dating someone BEFORE she told me she wanted a divor…

I’m amazed you made it to 21 without anyone explaining that you are not required to stay in a relationship for any reason at all. And you do not need permission to break up. If you say it is over then…

If nobody flies off the handle and moves out, it's pretty common to figure out you can's actually afford to separate without divorcing. I think it's especially cruel in states that insist on a waitin…

That waiting period is just cruel - if she already knows deep down what she's gonna do, dragging it out another few days just makes it worse for both of you.

I understand. I still think the insurance rejection was a pointed message. I didn’t have employer-provided insurance for one year in 2024. Adjusting after the Pandemic has been especially difficult fo…

You’re not alone, Hopefully you’ll get closure with time, I felt the same when stbxh initiated and the first 3 weeks I was numb but continued routine of wake, coffee, a little cry in the car, work, lo…
