Pitch Slapped

(Yes, our main form of communication is through texting. We are so 21st century.)

Me:  Divorce papers filed on July 24, 2013, should be able to meet with judge after September 26^th. Office will mail papers today to be signed to start temporary orders until the final decree is signed by the judge.

Jeff: What if I don’t sign?

Me: You don’t have to sign the papers to still be held for child support. The signing agrees to the rest of the additional terms (child custody, additional payments for mortgage, car, preschool…)

Me: If you don’t sign the papers at all, the divorce proceedings become halted because it is then contested. You would need to hire your own personal lawyer to represent you.

Me: Are you considering not signing?

Jeff: I dunno

Me: You want to hire your own lawyer?

Jeff: : No. Not at all.

Me: We agreed to the terms, I thought?

Jeff: I don’t have issues with the terms.

Me: Then I don’t understand.

Jeff: I’m second guessing everything.

Me: Whomp, there it is! I see.

Jeff: You watch too much Pitch Perfect.

Me: Aca-scuse me?

Jeff: Wow.
