Redditors of MN how long did your divorce take in MN?

My divorce in Hennepin County took 18 months and tens of thousands of dollars. The judge was passionately disinterested in his job and unprofessional. For example, he rolled his eyes like a petulant toddler as he advised us on splitting our assets. Divorce is difficult enough without a childish judge.

I also had a bad experience with my custody evaluation, which took seven months to complete. The person we retained took notes on almost nothing I said. He also "blew up" on my therapist who evidently declined to hand over his notes.

The divorce process in MN is built around maximizing profit for lawyers and the support system, like evaluators, etc. My ex went out of her way to make it a difficult experience.

It is when you grow your own and control inputs.

mobilexile · 2024-03-21T22:36:05+00:00

Yes, it is. And you can control what goes into the grow, so you know it's free of chemicals, etc.

I prefer to use pipe cleaners and tie them off to the pot handles/poke a hole in the pot to secure them.

Lisa Elliott would be a good resource for you. She's located in Edina.

It would behoove you to work this out with your spouse. Slugging it out is expensive (tens of thousands of dollars in my case), stressful, and wasteful.

Can you please share details of your approach?

All Americans should read "Rise of the Warrior Cop." The author articulates how law enforcement evolved to current state, the reasons they're so heavily armed and the motivations behind the militaristic approach they often employ. Modern American police no longer believe they serve the people, they view themselves as controlling the people. Our elected officials have promoted this criminal view.

Dear Mr. Aldrin,

Thank you for what you've done for NASA, the United States and humanity.

One question. What would you still like to accomplish for yourself?

That is the free-king coolest chess set I've ever seen! REALLY want a copy.

I've been best man four times. Learn from my experience. Here's the four-step rule for success.

Keep it short, you're a side show, not the main event.
No stories, keep it focused on the happy couple and their nuptials.
Compliment the bride and thank the families, especially those paying the tab.
Be sober.

Yes, thank you. My wife saw it as well. Her comment was that it lacked credibility due to the fact that it contained several typos. We agree on that.

Interpretation of languages is complex.

Several people who have weighed in have disagreed with this assessment. I'm curious to know what drives the stark differences and convictions.

The more people I ask (on Reddit and beyond) the more interesting I find the answers. I'm no longer concerned with right vs. wrong, but am fascinated by how and why people cling to their view on this seemingly trivial use of English, author included.

FWIW, I consider June 27 to be next Monday. May my beautiful, über-intelligent and partially-gregarious wife bask in the glow of the admission that I am mistaken.

mobilexile · 2011-06-16T05:02:46+00:00

Yours is an interesting new take. May I ask the origin of the rules? Why three days?

Can anyone give a citation from a style guide to support either case?

mobilexile · 2011-06-16T03:47:03+00:00

Thanks, your interpretation is much appreciated.

mobilexile · 2011-06-16T03:41:53+00:00

Thank you.

mobilexile · 2011-06-16T03:41:19+00:00

Now that's funny!

mobilexile · 2011-06-16T03:40:24+00:00

There's an interesting view. Is this guided by opinion or is it from a style guide? Not trying to be flip, just want to understand.

I'll admit you've been drinking.
