I guess it must depend on how much stuff there is to separate. I'm thinking that couples with children have many many times the amount of work to do when going through the divorce process.

I don't think me and my ex had to discuss very much with each other during the process. We agreed on who was getting what up front and then it was just up to the attorney to draw up the papers. The attorney's communicated back and forth a little bit. Some papers went back in forth in the mail to sign and that was about it. Of course, it seemed long and painful at the time, but I guess it was short compared to what a lot of people go through.

Sunny, it is probably good you're being so careful to get everything figured out correctly now. I've heard it is very difficult to go back later and re-do the divorce settlement. But, it sounds so stressful to have to communicate with your husband so much. Once a week in person sounds like a lot!
