where are things going??

I guess I am a little confused more than anything right now. My stbx filed papers over a month ago and still nothing has happened. I guess I didnt appreciate how he is going about things much less the crap he put in the papers about me and that he wants full custody of daughter--whom I have to call to make arrangements every week for him to see.
How long does it take to get the ball rolling as far as a divorce goes?? I countersued back on reasons of willful dessertion and adultery--but have heard nothing. He has told me that his lawyer has said he sent papers to him but stbx claims he hasnt gotten anything from him yet. Maybe I should consult with my lawyer?? I dont know. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there :)


DEFINITELY call your lawyer and find out what's up. Ask LOTS of questions. I know from personal experience that you have to be on the ball and your attorney isn't always going to take the initiative to let you know what's up.


Give them a call. Remember at ANYTIME you can see your file and there SHOULD be a copy of ALL that was sent to him and vice versa.


Hugs to you and good luck!

I agree that you should consult your attorney A.S.A.P. I would also keep a journal of your interactions with your STBX as it relates to visitation, support, etc. If he's claiming he wants full custody but you have to chase him to arrange visits it doesn't support his argument that he should have full custody.
