I was just so happy when I found this out, I have to share with some people that I know would understand and share in my happiness...

I moved out in the middle of August but the sitation was only temporary and my house wasn't sold before I had to move out of my temporary location. So I was very bummed because I had to move back in to my house with the stbx until it is sold. UGH!! My 6 months waiting period before I can file for divorce was going to have to start all over. I couldn't find an attorney that I could afford on top of that, so me and my stbx were writing our own legal seperation/property settlement agreement. The stbx wouldn't move out until we had an agreement signed. Needless to say I was feeling very stressed and upset, well...

A friend of mine referred me to this attorney and they are affordable and willing to just assist me with me things instead of trying to take over and do everything for me (so they can get good amount of money out of me)!

Not only that when I talked to them briefly on the phone they told me that I won't have to start my 6 months over again. As long as I have a witness to say that we were living seperately under the same roof etc... I should be ok with the judge. Isn't that great?!?!?! Well 6 months is the middle of February, and would you look at that, it is!!!! I have an appointment on the 21st to have them review the agreement my stbx and I did and start the paperwork for everything else. I was thrilled! OH and I think my house is going to sell for a bit more than I expected so I will have a decent amount of equity to get something of my own. Just had to share...

THANKS!
