Took me more than a year to get mine over with - Should have taken 90 days.

I wanted to settle and offered her most of everything - she wanted to go to court to take it all - against the advice of everyone involved including her own attorney...

It was agonizing - she drug it out, changing attorneys twice and hiring a third to come in at the last minute.

The judge gave me twice what I ever asked for, and I took it.

She admitted in open court that she wanted me on the street.

Never again. Married 28 years and it degenerated into that.

I hope you heal from this quickly, elleng.

Mine was over in June and I feel soooooo much better I cannot believe it.
