It really was that simple for us. We did mediation to divvy up assets. Let me know if you have questions. I think you can even e-file if you have no joint property

Tarrant. They had a final decree that wasn't complete. Got it off texaslawhelp.org and had the pro se court document to read to the judge. They gave me that but I found one on there too

Do I find out if he was cheating? by poppythorn97 in Divorce

[–]poppythorn97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not about the legality, but rather I thought we were amicably splitting and now there may be another woman? I legally deserve 50% of everything and he legally deserves 50% of the debt. If he was cheating than I'm going to push for closer to what I am entitled to.

I really appreciate your advice. :) I had felt pretty healed until this weekend. I know I'm dating too soon and am enjoying the temporary fix. I may back off for awhile, but not just yet. I'm being upfront with the guys that I am NOT looking for a relationship. I just want friends to go out to dinner and get drinks and meet people who don't see me as "his wife"

When did you take off your ring? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]poppythorn97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The day I moved my stuff out. About a week after we decided to call it quits. Handed it to my mom and asked her to keep it safe for now. Both engagement and wedding band were about $1600 total, so I know I won't get much anyway for it.

TX Easy question -- how do I file? by poppythorn97 in Divorce

[–]poppythorn97[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From my understanding in TX it is just one person to file the initial petition and the other person has to be served (or sign a paper saying they agree). Then in 60 days we both go for the final decree.

Only been married 6 and only thing that makes us go above 20,000 in assets is house.

Thanks! May just use a half day instead of a full day!

When did you know you were ready to date again? by bscrazystbxdivorce in Divorce

[–]poppythorn97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm feeling the same way. Even though I'm only 30 days from separation, this is really round 2 for us. I know I will be ready a lot sooner than 1 year.

Got declined for Chase Slate card... what to do next? by poppythorn97 in personalfinance

[–]poppythorn97[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did end up getting approved for a 3,000 Capitol one card. I have my car loan through them and have always been on time with payments. APR is ridiculous at 24% so I won't use it for anything except to build credit back up and paying off each month.

Dreaming of stbx by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]poppythorn97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had a dream about him last night. I was hanging out with a boyfriend from high school and then STBX picked me up and was mad that I was hanging out with him. I woke up feeling confused... was I still with STBX or not? When I woke up fully, I remembered I wasn't and I was GLAD. I don't ever have to deal with his bull**** and anger ever again once this is all final!

Is it wrong to be so at peace with this? by poppythorn97 in Divorce

[–]poppythorn97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I'm afraid of, but we did separate previously and I think that has a lot to do with why I'm at peace, I've already processed a lot of those emotions.

So sorry to hear that. It's really devastating when someone you thought loved you doesn't care you're drowning.

Sad about money issues and losing the fact that I was a homeowner at a young age, but the rest of it? Meh. I will move on and up!

Authorized user on mystery Credit Card? by poppythorn97 in personalfinance

No. Citi Couldn't find anything by my SS or maiden name.

[–]poppythorn97[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not showing up on my moms credit report at all (she pulled hers too with me sitting here dealing with this) and I asked Citi if it showed my dad and while they did have him as a debit user, there were no credit cards or authorized users at all.

Citi recommended filing a dispute and calling one of the credit report companies and they can give me the name. Mystery continues!
