Dissolution paperwork

How long did it take you to fill this bad boy out? It seems so laborious ending a marriage that was so easily broken by one person's behavior. Ugh... The good news is we dont own any property other than a car (free and clear) and furniture. Well, some money but not really.

 

He is now saying that he wants to work things out, "if you'll have me" because he "believes we can work this out." Uh, no.

Ugh did he cheat?That's almost exactly what my ex said after he slept with my former best friend.

 

Totally depends on what state you are in, here in WA it didn't take too long at all. There's a website that takes you through it step by step, it was pretty easy!

Oh, I already gave him one chance to reconcile, but he continued to make poor life choices so, here are the consequences (yes he did cheat).

 

The thing that seems overwhelming is listing every single piece of property and its value. Is that for real?!

Double check the instructions. In my state, you are only required to list items worth more than $100.

I only had to list major assets valued over $1000. Everything else was up to us to divide.

All I listed was my house. Everything else was just determined by possession. I already knew he wasn't going to take much, I bought all of the furniture and everything so he really had no claim to anything so it wasn't a big deal. And he was always supervised when he was moving stuff out.

A good to know! Im hopeful that I dont have to list every piece of my property I entered the marriage with, just things jointly accrued.
