Legal Update



This is what a Decree Nisi looks like. My copy turned up on Saturday (having had the telephone confirmation during the week.)

Its a wonderful bit of paper that says in 6 weeks the divorce becomes final and the last 11 years will be like a bad dream. With luck, I won't find Bobby Ewing waiting for me in the shower. Victoria Principle circa 1978 would be ok though.

Its a testament to 'amicability' - if there are legal spats going on, it can take up to 2 years for one of these to appear. In this case, it took barely 3 months.

That concludes the legal update. When the dust settles, I'll collate all this and put it into a FAQ on the sidebar - I know some readers get a bit tired wading through the rest of the journal to find the legal bits and pieces.
