We settled out of court on 60-40 me being primary residence, but it is considered joint custody. I settled for this because my attorney made me feel as if it wasn't worth his time or mine to go to court. The issue at hand isn't anything to do with my ex at this point. I have pretty much accepted that I am going to be in AZ for quite some time against my will, so I have enrolled to get my nursing degree and starting classes in the fall here. My issue is that I have no certified copy of my Decree, I cannot change my name without it, and if by any chance I would need it for some visitation descrepancy with my ex (it has happened before), the police won't be able to help me. I just want to feel some closure. The divorce is supposedly final, however, I have nothing in my possession proving so.
