    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

    I just did my divorce kit last week. It was really easy.

    If you need to get an affadavit done the easiest place to go is the local cop shop.

    You can also do the whole thing by post which is what I'm doing. I only mailed my application in to the court last Monday and by Friday I had a court date so it's a really quick service.

    I'm now serving my ex by certified mail & hoping that re signs the form he needs to sign & returns it to me. If not nothing's lost as cos I've got a health care card it's cost me nothing.

    I've got my kit all filled out, once the date I can apply comes around, I'm off to the court to get the date, I have a friend who's hubby is a process server so he will track xh down (NFI where he is living & honestly don't care as long as he keeps the fark away from me) to serve him the papers.

    I'm just hoping there isn't a wait for the date.

    Good luck with it all!!!!
