No Depo

Today I got a text from my attorney. He said the depo with Bill was canceled. I told him I already knew. It will be rescheduled for June. That's okay with me. The longer we wait, the longer my tax shelter has to grow before I have to sign it---and who knows what else---over to Bill. We have a 'trial hearing' set for the end of this month. I think it's similar to a status update. There the attorneys have to appear and tell the judge what progress we've made towards a settlement. It's a new addition to divorce proceedings. From what I hear, it was instituted because so many people were filing for divorce and never finalizing. My attorney told me we have a trial set for next March. That's okay with me. I don't know if Bill will even be alive by next March. (With the way my luck has been going, he'll probably be in complete remission and I will be paying him $2500/month for decades. Oh, joy!) Maybe his attorney won't be alive either. He got rear-ended on the freeway at about 60 mph. He already walked with a cane. He has 'forgotten' how to walk and is having back surgery this week. Oh, yeah, we won't be meeting again before June, if at all. Bill is considering getting a new attorney. Really? Is this a good idea? I don't think so. Check out how the other one recuperates from back surgery, then consider getting a new one.

I asked my attorney if it would be better or worse for us if Bill passed away before we finalized the divorce. He said it would be both. Great.
