The Divorce Saga Continues

Or does it?  I guess it depends on how you look at it.  If I understand things correctly and God only knows I don’t pay enough attention to the happenings in this process, I think I might be close.  My attorney said that once he files the paperwork after our hearing yesterday I will officially be divorced.  Holy Shit……  Can you believe that?  Now for the not so good news.

It seems that I will still have to go to mediation on the stocks and retirement accounts.  Apparently my wife still feels that I have stolen from her and wants me to refund her all of her money.  I am not sure what money she is referring to since I don’t have any but what can I say.  Logic hasn’t prevailed in this mess so far.  Why would logic start now?  According to my lawyer it will be binding takes about two hours and only cost $50.  Now that is a far cry from the $400 an hour I am paying him so it seems like a good deal.  I guess we can do this even after we are divorced which is fine by me.  Having the papers saying I am free will be a day to celebrate.

The only other thing left will be going back to court to revisit the child custody payments.  Jesus, I keep saying the only thing left a lot don’t I.  In a nutshell I will finally be divorced but will most likely be spending the rest of my life in court with this woman.  I had been thinking it was the kids that would keep us connected but apparently it will also be the family judicial system.  It is too bad that we could not have done this entire thing through a mediator.  It would have been so much nicer on all of us.

I guess I should count my blessings.  One, I will finally be legally free and can add my name to the 50% bracket on the divorced side.  Two, our house is selling and I might actually get a little money to pay some bills.  Three, the court thing will keep going and that just provides me plenty of topics to write about in my blog.  It seems that I am getting a following of divorce junkies that tune in just to hear the latest in my family drama.

Good news everyone.  I will be divorced but the saga will keep on going.
