What are the consequences to you if you don't go?


Really mb? I think even the most unreasonable judge would understand you need to get your feet under you. It is going against your IC's advice to proceed with this now. What does your L say about postponing this?

I wish. I guess these classes become mandatory in our state a few years ago to try to discourge couples from getting divorced. However, if couples did decide to go foward, they also added the co-parenting class for help with that. H has not filed the paperwork yet, but does have it ready to file. He wants me to just sign it so it will be easy and that part I'm not willing to do. If he wants the divorce he will have to serve me the paperwork.

"OK, so what is the procedure if you like the first half and want to work to resolve this? can you have the court order your husband to attend FT first for six months?"

Ok so you can go tonight and drop it for awhile? Is it a prerequisite to filing? I worry this is too soon for you.

mb, don't go to this class unless it's the right thing for your mental health. Ask your IC about it if you're not sure. I agree that no reasonable person would expect you to attend a class like this when you're in a fragile state like you are. I'm sure they have these classes all the time. There is no emergency for you to do this IMO.

Thanks everyone for the concern, but I think it will be ok from what my friend tells me who had to take them a few months ago. She said they are not bad, and actually try to teach options to save your M.

These are NOT a prerequisite to filing, just for the D to be final. When my H and I were on speaking terms a few weeks ago we talked about this class and he thought it would be good for us as parents even if we decide not to get a D.

Well, good luck, I hope it goes well. Maybe you can drive yourself so you can leave if at anytime it gets too much. I know for me, now it would be too much and I am in a pretty good place right now. Let me know tonight how it goes. (((hugs)))

I am concerned your H will interpret this as you accepting his offer of a Divorce and you liking the idea...

It doens't seem to take much for him to get Divorce in his head and steam roll in that direction...

I really hope you make it clear to him what you going here means and what it does NOT mean.

make sure you read first chapter of Divorce Remedy.. if you can get your husband to do it, get him to do it too

Maybe take a friend with you for moral support.
