Sorry for the delay in my reply...
Regarding my comments earlier, I was referring to my sis's case. Both her ex-husband and her agreed to all the terms of the divorce including house, alimony etc etc, so their case was settled about a few months after it was filed.
All I was trying to say is that every case is different, and not all cases need to "wait 3 years" for the divorce to be finalized.
Please spend some money if you can afford to seek proper legal advice, so some doubts can be clarified...
I have seen on too many threads making assumptions regarding divorce proceedings....thus my post...
