Divorce should be easy, getting Married should be hard...

[Praxius]

I vote for divorce being easier. I've been seperated from my ex husband for over 2 years and I'm still legally married. This is down to him not pulling his finger out with his lawyer. Due to unemployment he was entitled to apply for legal aid, and I gave my consent for the divorce to go ahead etc. Heard nothing since. I keep asking my ex if he has contacted his lawyer and all I get is "Not yet, I'll do it this week" and he never does grrrr!

I have a friend who's still waiting for his divorce to be finalized after like 5 years or so.... it's supposed to be taken care of within the year I'm told. In this aspect, I agree that divorces should be much easier.... at least quicker..... and the couple in question getting the divorce should have more legal obligations in trying to finalize the whole thing faster with fewer delays.

Do you have a lawyer? If not, you're allowed to contact his lawyer directly since you're representing yourself. (Also, if he's being this much of an ass already, you might want to look into getting a lawyer yourself.)

I actually have been contemplating doing just that, I just want it over and done with and be able to use my maiden name everywhere lol. Personally I think he's just an ass in general, he's the same with the kids
