carhill Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 One could live in South Lake Tahoe, as an example, which is El Dorado County, California, subject to very different laws than if one establishes short term residence in Reno, Nevada, just over the border and a short drive away, then pursues divorce in Washoe County. I mentioned it because I do know people personally who have 'shopped' jurisdictions, not only for speed but also for more 'friendly' courts, relevant to their business interests. Similarly, as offered in other threads, a BS might investigate residence requirements in a state such as NC, which still has criminal and civil statutes for infidelity, to gain a more favorable outcome and settlement. Etc, Etc. Legal maneuvering goes on all the time. Ask any lawyer. I asked mine; that's how I know. Link to post Share on other sites
LoveBitesButSoDoI Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 (edited) Oh, I remember the good ol' days after D-Day. The days of coming to LoveShack looking for hope & words of wisdom, but mostly hope. Eventually the hope will die & you will be part of the 90% (depending on which statistics site you read) that he doesn't leave his wife for. They also say that there is only a 3% chance of a relationship surviving that started on deception. If I were to do everything over again, I would've told him to call me when he has the D papers in hand & he is living on your own. It's not worth it to everyone involved.
