How long did your divorce take??

OK, how long did your divorce take? Or, of you filed, how long have you been waiting to this point? It's been six months now, and I am REALLY starting to get impatient. He always seems to be able to do something that puts the date out. His lawyer fires him for nonpayment, he doesn't hand in what he's supposed to...etc. I am just really getting tired of this hanging over my head indefinitely.

My husband had me served July 27, 2005 and there is still no immediate end in sight. I'm hoping by summertime it'll all be over.

I'm sorry. I think it takes 2 people to "F" up a marriage. I know someone who has been trying to get a divorce for 2yrs. At some point its time to move on. Money and revenge do not buy happiness. The more money spent in legal fees is that much less your going to get in your final settlement. Split it 50/50 and move on.

Simple to split anything 50/50 when ONE person isn't taking ANY % of responsibility, but stole 100% of assets? Things are very different when you are dealing with RATIONAL vs. IRRATIONAL people. I don't have the experience of being married (or divorcing) an alcoholic... but a gambling addict is just as bad as far as I am conerned. ZERO responsibility, takes 100%...

If he stole 100% assests, you are intitled to 50% of those. My point is no judge will award 100% to either party, so why waste money you could have in your pocket to fight for 100%. I have had no experience with a gambling addict, but I am divorced from an alcoholic who terrorized me and my children.
