This is the point where I am right now… Divorce date was this week, judge was very condescending and decided that I should go back in two weeks. Somehow I have a feeling he is taking pity on my soon-to-be (hopefully) ex, who did not bother to pitch up for the hearing. It was the worst feeling standing there and realizing that a moment that was supposed to sever the legal tie, would continue for another two weeks because the judge was not happy that I did not go the legal representation route… My heart was bleeding, until it dawned that this does not change me as a person or alter the path I’m on. Just another offence thrown at me that I was not willing to hold on to.

$28 dollars for the license and a hand shake with the JP and we were married.

$3500 later and I’m finally divorced…and still paying his truck insurance for 8 more months.

It stinks.

The whole cruddy lot of it stinks. And for someone who has thousands of religious reasons says they won’t “live” with someone without marriage – my tune has certainly changed.

Over the last year, I realize how marriage and divorce are religious and emotional things. That piece of paper means NOTHING to me anymore. If I marry again – it may not be of the “legal” nature – but it WILL Be a marriage of my heart.

I love this idea! I’ve never heard anyone suggest this, but it’s so true.

I’ve always thought that marriage licenses should be like drivers licenses. If you don’t renew them, they simply expire.

Hi Emma, I know this post was a while ago, but just catching up now. In many countries in Europe, it is like that, the civil and religious are entirely separate. Having a religious ceremony does not make you legally married, you have to do the civil one.
