There's really only one other choice and that anger and hate would do me no good.

The kicker: she spent most on another dude. Lol

Not to be crass but when I hacked her texts after running a credit report, even though it really effed me, it was comical. I was the rich and not... What one thinks about why some cheat.

I learned though: I was busier being provider and soccer dad to her son after we bought the dream home. Fewer vacations and more family dinners vs going out all the time.

if no one is contesting anything, hire a lawyer to file to avoid court dates, it was under $2k for me, although I gave up all assets

Legal Zoom goes way beyond just providing the forms for $299, their level of help & support is the reason for their success and great reviews

they walk you through the process, step by step, then make sure everything is right

If you are familiar with all the laws and know how to complete and submit the forms correctly, then you are probably an attorney, just have your secretary download the forms

Not an attorney?.... just pay the $299, the peace of mind knowing it was done correctly (LZ checks everything) is worth that

Does cost that also include the court filing fee, which (at least in the county in which I reside) is over $200 all by itself?

No, it does not.... nor does it cover the "routine serve"

filing fees vary from state to state, and even sometimes the municipality

the filing fee is $80 here in Fargo ND

The cost of a routine serve (a serve that is first attempted within 5-7 days of receiving the papers) can be as low as $20 and can go up to $100, but the national average is somewhere between $45 and $75

Attorneys generally do not include "filing fees and court costs" in their estimates either

Here in Missouri, papers don't even have to be served. I can give them to my wife, then have her sign them in front of a notary.

Yeah. That doesn't surprise me.

Mine did. He was quite up front. Then again, mine was uncontested and my ex and I were on the same page about everything. It was nice to have his expertise, tho, when doing the Settlement Agreement and the real estate stuff.
