A civil civil servant
Jul. 8th, 2005 04:55 pmSo once again I trudge over to the county courthouse. This time, I am in search of the "Pro Se Divorce Kit." Supposedly a handy thing to have if you absolutely, positively don't want a lawyer helping you.
I find the appropriate window, and ask the kind lady for this kit thingy. With a smile, she assures me that the kit has absolutely nothing useful in it - just copies of forms she already gave me when I filed in the first place and maybe a note reminding me to call the judge "your honor."
Saved me $40 she did! I've dealt with this woman several times and she is always cheerful, helpful and patient. So much for the standard image of civil servants.
Also, it occurred to me today that a divorce is a pretty big event in a person's life and should not pass without some kind of notice. I'm wondering if I should invite some friends over the weekend after for a small - reception, I guess. A divorce party sounds too Hollywood Jet Set blase to me.
