What a "day" ...

Big day # 7, will generate a lot of posts... It's not a day, it's a week, not a regular week, it's a scramble to pack into a week what should have occurred in the last two years, but didn't. Why? Because the judge is mandated to "dispose" of his "contested divorce - with children" cases within two years. And in the tight competition for the dumbest thing in this whole mess (very crowded field of candidates), the judge already lost his statistical goal because of a clerical error no one seems to have noticed or corrected. When my wife filed for divorce, her lawyer checked the wrong box - "contested divorce - no children", which carries a goal of "disposal" within one year. So the judges performance has already been "flagged".

Every notice from the court comes titled "Contested divorce - no children", so you'd think that anybody who knew anything about the case would notice it and correct it. I've pointed it out several times, but no one bothers to correct it, so why bother to track it? Busy work, self importance?

So what tantalizing teaser titles can you look forward to?

I'll be busy until the (week long) "day" ends Monday or Tuesday, I'll be posting as time allows.

The big news, I may get a final decree in a month without a Phase III Trial. Good News? Bittersweet at best. The cost is high by so many measures.

So is that the end, oh no, divorce, like marriage should be, is for life! Next comes the fallowut and then on to Phase IV - Post Decree Actions.

If any teaser title catches your fancy, ask about it in the comments section and I'll respond with a little more detail. As I move toward final decree, I hope to provide readers with even more valuable information, (almost) free from the distraction of the emotional trauma, but hopefully with wit, sarcasm, and useful practical advice.

I have collected so much material including a half day of surreptitious audio recording of the dirty details. God are these people stupid, I've got a laptop in their devil's den with a start bar full of tasks including the audio level monitoring task for the USB connected digital recorder sitting behind my Pepsi, water, and Full Throttle (energy drink). How's that for a cocktail of beverages for the day?
