Hi Cindi – I’m glad you appreciate it! I think when many people get divorced they are upset and have no idea what the process is supposed to be like – this makes it very easy to get the run around.

I know you can file without a lawyer – the way things have gone I think I
should have just done the research and done it myself – I bet it would be done by now ;-)

Kim,
As an 11 year veteran (can’t use that term in any other regard than divorce), the memories are a little foggy; not to mention the lack of knowledge i had back then on how it all really should have gone; now in business for myself – this is a hang on the wall worthy post to remind me why I enjoy the small in small business relationships!

Yohan might think about being a mentor. You need to keep posting smart ass articles and make me think. I like to do that.

Thanks!
Cindi

Hi Dot – I think the legal terms are to further confuse us and think that what we are paying must be worth it ;-)

I wonder what the charge is to stick the stamp on the envelope – lol

I think Yohan meant well too.

Hi Dennis – Is the designer a lawyer? Or is she going to relate to the business model?

Hi Julie – Thanks! I wanted it to be funny :-)

And I’m sure there are some decent lawyers … I actually met one this week who wasn’t so bad. He was really tall though which made me feel like I was 8 years old ;-)

Hi Carla – You would think for the price they charge they could get things right. What kills me is when they make a mistake and then charge me to correct it. When I make a mistake on a client’s site, I don’t charge them extra to have it fixed …

I think Yohan was assuming it was my husband’s fault and that men cause most marital problems. I don’t think he meant to offend. It’s funny though – it’s 2010 and I still get comments from other parents about being divorced that are really bizarre – like it’s 1950 or something. Good thing I don’t usually care what other people think … ;-)

Hi Yohan – I was being a bit of a “smart ass” – I wasn’t “miserable” but I am so much happier now. I think divorce is sad and that, if possible, people should try really hard to work things out but many times it just isn’t possible. Things are a little harder being a single parent but my kid’s Dad is still a big part of her life and there is a trade-off … some things are harder but others are much easier – for example, no one gives me a hard time for staying up too late playing a video game ;-)

For me, it would not have been possible to stay together.

And I did mean for the article to be funny.

Hi Adrenalynn – I hope you don’t either!!! Best bet is to stay married.
