Divorce - where do I start?

[Ashlee]

I just called and got an Application for Divorce kit sent out. The lady on the phone said it would be $432 but it says on the net if I hold a concession card it will be free. Yay!

Thank you so much, looks like it's not a difficult process and no need for lawyers. Thank god!

You know *cough cough* if your ex-partner wants the divorce as much as you - you can just.. umm... fudge the date of separation *whistles*

My exH and I separated in February 2004 - but we put the date as being November 2003 so we could apply 3 months quicker.. heehee!!!

If you are both in agreeance - and both sign the docs as separated that date - the Court doesn't know exactly when it was from. We just wanted it done as quick as possible (which was good cos divorce was granted in April 2005 and I got remarried that same year!)

Anyhoo.. just something to think about... all hush hush of course..

LOL
