Cranialrupture Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Is it good to set a date as far as getting D papers. When she left she said it was for good, but knowing my mental case wife, I know she will crash and come begging me back sooner or later. I didn't get papers at first because I was hoping she would come back soon and if she wanted the D she could get the papers, then as time goes on I think I am beginning to see how stupid it might actually be to take her back. So I started to thinking well I will just get the papers myself and do it but I want to heal a little more before I actually do it. But I cant wait forever to decide because that will slow down my overall healing. I know its going to be hard as hell getting them and I dont want to do something stupid out of anger because my emotions are still f***ed up that she could use against me. Hence giving myself some more time. So the long winded question is should I set a date to get the papers or just go off a wim and get them whenever I decide to. Maybe I just think to much.
carhill Posted November 12, 2009 Posted November 12, 2009 Well, if you're the petitioner you can get a default judgment if she doesn't respond. A lot depends on what you and she have settled on and if there are children and/or significant marital and separate assets involved and how your jurisdiction handles the process. If she's truly a 'mental case', I'd go the lawyer route and be the petitioner and prepare for a contested D. Sorry
