While updating and preparing information (yet again) regarding my legal situation, I’m finding I have to force myself to sit at the computer this time around. I am that sick of it.
But I keep on going. I won’t stop.
However, it occurred to me that I might have been inclined to give up or give in long ago if I didn’t have a clue as to what I as doing, what I was entitled to.
There are probably many women (and men) who’d be unable to cope with or understand the financial and legal ramifications of the dismantling of a marriage – in part because they had no idea as to the state of their financial affairs while married.
Lawyers can only work with the information they’re given. If you don’t have it to give? Advantage – opposing team.
Ladies and Gentlemen: May your marriages last until death do you part but (god forbid) on the off chance they might not, familiarize yourselves with and become knowledgeable as to your financial situation now.
“What’s mine is yours” is not good enough. That sentiment changes. You need to know what the “mine” consists of in order to hold on to “yours.”
Okay, okay, long enough break from the legal mumbo jumbo – back to it.
Hah! Fooled ya! I’m back already. (The joke’s on me and it ain’t so funny…)
While yesterday I had an hour and a half meeting by phone, another meeting was postponed until Monday.
Various people informed me that the image on my last (brief) post implied I was in court regarding my legal situation. Uh-uh. Just preparing to go to court.
So that you can get a sense of what it’s like to be immersed in this sort of boondoggle (love that word!) here’s a mini-synopsis/review of a book (as yet unwritten) entitled:
“Beth And The Legal System”
A flurry of activity - letters, emails, phone calls, prep, meetings, meetings postponed - and then? The wait. Again. What could possibly happen next?! Another postponement? Something actually accomplished? Purchase your copy (when it’s written/published) and find out!
This book has it all – suspense, drama, mind-numbing minutiae, staggering boredom and lots of swear words. Not for the faint of heart.
I’ve retained my sense of humour.
My sanity? Questionable.
Other appointments Friday, all boys home this weekend - busy time. Also have to prepare for Monday’s meeting – discovered its agenda is not what I thought it was. Need a new mindset. (A new mind would be even better.) Blogging and posting will remain sporadic.
Hope all is well in your worlds. I’ll be checking in today to find out.
