Uncontested!

fatrockstarI got an email today from the mediator handling our divorce paperwork.
I mailed my signed papers in in JULY -- how long does it take to get divorced in Washington, anyway? Why did it take so long to hear back? Everything was already settled and property divided, and all that needed changing was the date. I'm very confused as to why it took for-fucking-EVER to get this paperwork back to us.
Again, we have a list of court dates that mean absolutely nothing to either of us. The first one isn't even 90 days out -- it's in February of 2011! I get to file married-taxes for yet another year. Super.
We are uncontested, no kids, assets divided and issues resolved. We haven't even been in the same room together since November 2007 or earlier. I'm still dumbfounded why it was filed in King County again. It would have been faster and easier to just file it in Lincoln County, where divorce-by-mail is common and doesn't require a court appearance. It wasn't my decision, though. I'm not the one with the funds to do it.
That we have court dates at all is still progress. Figuring out how to navigate the whole thing is another story.
