I'm so sorry I didn't see your post, but PLEASE let us know how things went.
I was divorced after a 26 yr long marriage, and I was terrified. It wasn't a very nice divorce either, as my husband was absolutely ready to kill me. (not literally but boy was he MAD) He was verbally & emotionally abusive the whole marriage -- he wasn't the 3 yrs we were married, so I don't know why he all of a sudden flipped when we got a piece of paper saying we were "man and wife." It was weird!!! He was controlling to the point that if I went to my mothers, he'd call to make sure I was really there! He controlled every single penny I spent. I should have had my head examined for staying so long --- and I did have my head examined.

I committed myself for 2 weeks. LOL
Anyway -- it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be in front of the magistrate. He asked a couple of questions, and then it was over.

In a couple of minutes, I was divorced! I felt like a ton of weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I WAS FREE!
So I hope yours went the same way. I hope it went fast and easy. God bless you and please take care of yourself. Hugs, Lee
