I thought I was reading something my wife posted, 8yrs, 2 kids, etc. etc. same thing. We actually still live together but would like the divorce to be over fast. We get along ok so it won't be an ugly situation. I heard that you can just agree on the date you separated and that's all the proof of the 1yr thing you need. Is this true? and so you can get these forms from like staples, etc. and not have to pay the lawyers? That would be great, think were going shopping tonight.
