Trial date set for divorce

[Bernadine]

July 24. Omg. We go to mediation Feb 20th, and hopefully we can settle out of court before July. This was all decided at our scheduling conference this morning. We both had to attend with our lawyers. I walked in and said hi to him and he just looked at me.

He's such an asshole. So glad that you are moving on, you deserve better. (though it looks like you are already getting it )

[revolution]

what a bunch of suck. I'm sorry. This is such an awful process for you.

I hate the Ravens. But I hope they win, just for you.

Holy jesus h christ on a cracker.

July?! I hope you can work everything out well before then.

Thinking of you.

fuck him.

and, really, fuck maryland. july 24th is bullshit. i hope everything is all said and done in february.

seriously. maryland can kiss my ass.

[pantsparty]

I assume this is what you meant by "settle out of court."

[Bernadine]

Lol, thanks revolution!

[ering1115]

Fingers crossed that mediation works for you guys. July seems so far away. I hope your STBXH realizes that he is stone stupid if he thinks the court will give him a better deal than mediation.

Now that it is at least in process maybe you can get some relief for the housing issues.....

[Vally]

damn they really put your through a lot of hoops. I can't wait until this is over for you.

[hisno1girl]

I hope you got laid this morning because if you went in there looking fabulous AND looking like you just got laid, it would be the BEST THING EVER.

[coribelle26]

I feel like it is easier to get declared a saint than to get divorced in Maryland - and after all this, you deserve both.

[Bernadine]

The people are still living there as far as I know, and yes, if we don't agree to something, the house situation will stay the same until July. Nope, haven't seen him otherwise. Thanks booby!

[girlfriday11]

Your divorce is on the top of my "things I want for strangers on the Internet" list.

You really are amazing. You're handling this with so much grace. I'd be screaming to whoever was in the area. If it does make it until July, I have a feeling the judge won't look to kindly on the crap this guy's been pulling

it's why the ravens keep winning.  bernie is channeling all of her aggression and hatred into team spirit.

[peachykate]

Holy mother of shit, bern. I am really hoping that he decides to settle out of court and you won't be stuck in limbo until July.

You deserve the biggest party ever when this is over.

[speckledfrog]

JFC! Well, now you have an end date. May I suggest a Divorce Day GTG when this damn thing is finally done? You have the fortitude of... I can't think of a thing. From now on you have the fortitude of Bernadine shall be a saying. Because you mother fucking have it.

[sparkythelawyer]

Ugh. Well, I guess that's six months more equity you are building? Hopefully you guys can work something out in meditation, though I'm not optimistic he will finally start to behave. Good luck!

its my phone!

[WOT?*]

It sounds par for the course. Mine took months and we'd had everything resolved already. No conflicts or anything. It was the most amicable divorce ever. I'm sorry your ex is the suck, Bern. He should be shot in the ass.

For the record, I'm not sure who I want to win. I lived in Cleveland for over a decade, moved there right before Modell moved the Browns to B'more so we hate the Ravens because they're the Browns, period. And DH is from MD so I *should* be rooting for the Ravens to win but he's a Redskins fan which makes me anti-Raven-victory. OTOH I'm from California and hate the 49ers by default because they're California's version of the Cowboys or the Yankees but my old history teacher was a huge Rams fan/49ers are the devil back when they were the LA Rams and not the StL Rams so I should want the 49ers to win because he was a dick.

I'm torn here people. Ravens for Bern?

[nicanmatt]

OMG, you are such an amazing woman Bern!!!! I'm glad an end date is set, but damn, I wish it would all happen much more quickly for you. Crossing my fingers your lawyer kicks butt and you get all you deserve, and then some!!!

[pinkflats]

Good luck at mediation. I hope the judge nails his ass with a massive judgment for the house if he doesn't settle with you.

[poppyseed]

Jesus, Bern. By July, won't it be like two years that you've been trying to get divorced? Ugh.

I hope mediation goes well.
