I might have some good news...He signed up!

[Queen of Poop]

I might have some super good news on the divorce front, won't know for a week but we sent in some paper today and I've got fingers crossed the court accepts our application.

[Grace]

Keeping fingers and toes crossed for you. It's been a long haul, and you definitely deserve a break :)

[wombat2u2004]

Good one mate.....hope it comes off for ya ;)

[Karen]

Prayers on the way ...

[Pinot's Mom]

Prayers and good thoughts and crossed fingers for you!:love:

[Lilith Cherry]

Good thoughts on the way to you :)

[Alysser]

Really hope this works out for you!

[gini]

I cannot believe this has gone on so long for you - you must be at your wits end. I sincerely hope this resolves all issues for you regarding your divorce and that you can move on to a HAPPY LIFE!! You deserve it.

[Queen of Poop]

Thanks all for your good thoughts. My lawyer says Aug 17 should be the day we hear back so (im)patiently waiting.

Yes Gini, this has gone on for almost 2 years now, with no end in sight, so we're going to force the issue, I hope!

[phesina]

Prayers and good wishes for you, Gayle, that this works out and that the light at the end of the tunnel begins to show.

Remember that you have many friends, of many species, here on your side!

Friday, 10 am, matter goes to court to: get the divorce done so I'm not the MRS anymore, and to give me decision making on the lake house sale.

All settlement matters will be handled down the road.

It could be progress, see what happens Friday.

[happylabs]

Best of luck. Been there, done that and it is not fun. Hope things go as you like. Prayers!

[phesina]

All our good wishes to you that things go well for you with this.

Good thoughts and prayers will be with you on Friday!!! I hope all works out well to your benefit!!

[Queen of Poop]

I think my brain is going to explode.

He's seeking and getting a delay to craft a response. Guess he doesn't really want a divorce after all. Good grief!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

[gini]

Please forgive me............but is he paying someone off?

[Pinot's Mom]

Please forgive me............but is he paying someone off?

Really! This is just unfathomable!

[pomtzu]

Someone needs to...........no, I had better not say what I'm thinking. :mad: What a pompous jerk - I can't believe what he has been capable of so far. Well, like is said - "payback's a b**ch. Hopefully he will get his someday soon.
Gayle - how can the courts let him get away with all of this nonsense?

[mrspunkysmom]

Really? Every contract has an out, even a marriage contract. Just throwing out possibilities here:


Maybe a new lawyer?

Put a notice in the paper, "I divorce you, I divorce you; I divorce you!"



You can tell I've never been married. The legalities scared me.

I think the Middle East has it right on the method of divorce.

[lbaker]

WHOA, let's not discuss THOSE kind of options :( My X did the delay thing to try to get out of the whole $50 week (for two babies mind you) It did work for awhile... quite awhile. In the end it all worked out. I never received $$ but he is no longer with us.... NOT MY FAULT and I didn't say anything!

[Queen of Poop]

New date set, September 8th.

[Karen]

Good luck, we'll be thinking of you then!

[mrspunkysmom]

Good Luck from me, too.

I don't know how you have stayed sane during this process. As for my earlier post, I didn't really think you would post something in the paper. That would screw up the works. A new lawyer sounded good, but I read online that contested divorces could take years.

I think that needs to change.

[Queen of Poop]

Today, 10 am, we go to court!!!! My lawyer has asked me to be present, so I will be there.

Yesterday we proved to his side that he is a liar and in fact lied in his sworn affidavit. Don't know if that will affect things or how, but I proved it!

I so hope the court will give me my divorce today. No settlement yet, but this is a great first step, after almost 2 years.

[robinh]

Keeping you in my prayers that all goes as you want today. It's time for him to be gone from your life so that you can begin a new chapter where you can be safe and happy. You deserve this opportunity. Good luck.

[Karen]

How exciting! We'll all be praying hard in your direction!

[Queen of Poop]

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I was successful in court today. The divorce paperwork will proceed immediately. A date will be set for binding mediation and I am sole decision maker now regarding the sale of our lake house.

WOO HOO!!!:D

Good on ya mate. About time.

[Anikaca77]

Wonderful News!! :) I'm so glad for you!!

[Queen of Poop]

On November 3, 2011 at 10:30 am we will set down with the TOP mediator/arbitrator in Calgary to settle our property issues. This will be the final step in the process, hopefully. Then it will be all over and I can finally move forward. If he fails to show then the saga continues.....

[Catty1]

Is there any legal recourse - like arrest - if he fails to show? Best of luck!

[pomtzu]

I was wondering the same thing. Wouldn't he be in violation of a court order if he doesn't show up? I still can't believe how he somehow got away with all that he has done so far. Here in this state, if you fail to appear for anything, a bench warrant is issued.

[Queen of Poop]

If he fails to show it will be recorded, as the previous 3 occassions have been, we will then proceed directly to court in front of a judge and the judge will hear it all and make a decision. Really not in his best interest to go this route. I expect he will show and try to intimidate me. I will however have my lawyer there and she'll eat him for lunch if he gets stupid.

Going to be a bad IBS day regardless. Just have to get thru it and then it's ALL OVER. The thought of being in the same room with him makes me feel very, very unwell.

[phesina]

Best wishes, Gayle. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!!! And think of all your friends here by your side.

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[mrspunkysmom]

Good Luck. Hope all goes well!

[Queen of Poop]

Received the revised Mediation/Arbitration agreement late yesterday. It is now in its proper form, if we cannot agree on things the mediator will abritrate a decision. Her decision will come 45 days following the end of the mediation session. I will be signing this agreement and providing the required retainer. I am not sure he will agree to this at all, so we will just have to wait and see. The agreements and retainer have to be signed and returned by Oct 28. I will spend 2 hours with my lawyer on Monday, Oct 24 to do our preparation for the med/arb.

The count down is really on and I'm finding I'm very nervous and excited at the same time. Nervous to be in the same room with him, excited to be finally almost done with him. It will be nice to have this stress load out of my life.

[Karen]

Sounds good so far ...

[Queen of Poop]

He has signed the mediation/arbitration agreement. We will proceed Thursday, November 3 at 10 am - likely for the entire day.

[Lillycat]

....hopefully in a week it will be all over.....hang in there, stay strong!

[robinh]

I so pray that this ordeal will finally end and you can get on with the next phase of your life. You have done such a fabulous job of staying strong, you deserve a fabulous new beginning.

[phesina]

God bless!!!

:love::love::love::love::love::love::love::love:

[Catty1]

Good...more prayers going out. I hope his lawyer had a gun to his head to get him to sign and KEEPS it there. ;)

Prayers going out!

[gini]

I am so happy that things are going your way for a change. You are down
to the wire now and not too many days left to go. We are all behind you and wish you the very best.

[Queen of Poop]

Thank you so much for the support. I so appreciate all your kind words.

It would appear the dark side is worried they're going to lose. The attacks on my character are being stepped up. Along with phone calls from and unknown name, unknown number. That's alright, I'm strong and I have the TRUTH on my side.

[wombat2u2004]

Just keep hanging up the phone on them mate, they are probably just some of his idiotic friends.
Just hang in there....not long to go ;)

[Karen]

I get plenty of those - it's probably some telemarketer, not anything nefarious! The good thing is, with Caller ID, we don't even have to answer them! Anyone who who knows me knows to leave a message and I'll call them back, anyway!

We'll be with you, in our thoughts, every moment that day, and you'll know we will all be cheering for you! There IS a light at the end of the tunnel, and this time, it might NOT be an oncoming train!
