I GOT MY DIVORCE, Y'ALL My spouse and I broke up years ago. Around eight years, in fact, but we stayed married for most of that time because I needed insurance in order to get my medication, and didn't make enough through my job (especially with me being in and out of work for several years due to illness) to afford it on my own.
Around the time I did finally get insurance through my job, we started the process of divorce, but because we live in different states nowhere near each other, it all had to be done online and through the mail, which was an extremely slow process that only got slower thanks to Covid. We got more rejection notices than I care to count, for one reason or another, most amounting to "technical difficulties". We were given date estimations, only to have them pushed back or dropped entirely, and had to start over at one point.
Let's take a moment now to reflect on how insanely easy it was to get married in the first place...
But at long last, we've finally gotten a letter titled "DECREE OF DISSOLUTION OF MARRIAGE".
Decree:
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the marriage relationship existing between Petitioner and Respondent is hereby
dissolved and terminated. Each party is restored to all of the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of an unmarried
person.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the marriage relationship existing between Petitioner and Respondent is hereby
dissolved and terminated. Each party is restored to all of the rights, privileges, and responsibilities of an unmarried
person.
What beautiful words! I was beginning to think I'd never see the day. We're still waiting to find out whether we will need to make a court appearance online/over the phone to ensure everything is finalized, but it looks like it's gonna be over at last. No more confusion about what status to claim on forms, no more being unable to even consider getting remarried, and best of all, no more being blocked from financial aid because I have a spouse that I don't even get any money from or share a home with (much less a bank account). Maybe now I can finally get that Obamacare (since I lost my insurance yet again when I had to leave my job).
One step closer to getting my life on track. Better late than never.
