Friday's court date was a complete bust: I arrived at Derek's office (he seems to be fully recovered from his pulmonary embolism, thank God,) dressed-up, face fully made up, ready for business- only to be told that I was not going to be required in court that morning. He and Lia (Troy's lawyer,) had already met with the judge in chambers, and he had denied our petition since I am pregnant. I have to wait until after the baby is born for a paternity test before we can obtain our divorce.
WTF?!!!
Okay. Let's look at the facts here: Troy and I have been separated for over a year; we have not been 'intimate' for nearly two years; and HE HAS HAD A VASECTOMY!!! I could yell. I could cry. I could rage at the injustice of it all. But the judge has spoken. Guess we wait til February.
In the meantime, Steve is freaking out. How can he explain this to his parents? Not only is his girlfriend pregnant, but we can't get married cuz I can't get divorced. Niiiiiice. This should go over well. And how can I explain this to my (younger) kids?
On the plus side, I will continue to be covered under Troy's insurance, so getting my own or getting on Steve's is not an issue. And I know I am not the first woman to go through this.
But oh Lord- what a tangled web we weave!
