In an ideal world, it would take a minimal amount of time to go through a divorce. Unfortunately, in the real world, divorce is a slow process. Courts are packed, attorneys are slow, and the process often takes a year or two. However, it is possible to drag it out even longer, particularly if your spouse uses delay tactics. It can make your divorce more expensive and puts you in a much worse financial position. If your spouse is out to punish you, they can do so by dragging out the divorce. This episode is about some tricks that your spouse may use to delay your divorce. Also listen to episode 147, where we discussed ways to combat some of these tricks. Be prepared if your spouse uses any of these tactics against you: Your spouse fails to respond to discovery. Your spouse changes lawyers. Your spouse does not communicate at all. Your spouse brings needless motions. Discovery is one of the most important parts of the divorce process. It is important to understand what each spouse’s financial picture looks like. In a perfect world, both parties would be forthcoming, share their financial information, and be truthful. Unfortunately, your spouse might refuse to share information, delaying the process. They might not complete essential information. They may even lie. If several months have gone by and you still do not know what your spouse’s finances look like, it becomes a real problem. If this happens to you, you can force your spouse to react with a motion to compel. Your spouse has the right to be represented by an attorney of their choosing. However, they may fire their attorney right before important court dates, delaying the hearing. It may take a month or more to get a new hearing. On top of that, the new attorney’s fees may come out of marital funds, so it may cost you money. When your spouse is non-responsive, it slows down the whole process. They may even leave the state or the country. This can be dealt with through the courts. This comes up with aggressive attorneys. It can be very frustrating to be on the receiving end of these motions. It drives up the cost of the divorce and adds unnecessary conflict. They may request continual extensions to drag the process out as long as they can. Tactics like these can make divorce slower and nastier than it needs to be. By keeping a clear head, regardless of what your spouse is doing, you can make the decisions that will be best for you. Eventually this process will be over, so all you can do is control your reactions to end up in the best place possible.

If tries to delay I'm still leaving not staying
He did this and I didn't no the hospital gave him that form to fill out the DAy I was rushed to the hospital,then started not giving me medical treatments after that in the whole state,he's worked at a hospital for 40years.They had did fraud.
really? why would a judge let that happen!
Everything you have said has been done, it's 1 yr later and I have already shelled out 20k in legal fees, his attorney quit. He took our 15 yr old son, to avoid paying me child support, he was willing to live with him to get his own way. His lawyer quit and he refuses to pay his half of the AFC, refused getting the house apprised by a second appraisal after he chased the first one away. I am exhausted already and lost my job, worried about survival for myself and my daughter. I don't understand how the judge has allowed him and his lawyer who asked to be removed to get away with all of this. I just feel like giving up and letting him get his way like always.
I have always suspected my wife was cheating on me. We have been married for 15 years now and its been a smooth ride until last year when she changed and started seeing other men. A friend of mine linked me up with a great hacker Cyber Hack who helped me hack into her phone, I had complete access to her phone right on my device and I could monitor all her activities for the past 2years and also have access to new notifications, her location, call logs, text messages and all. I was left with no other choice.I loved my wife so much and I just dont know why she chose to betray me, I have been a good husband and never for once cheated on her. I tracked her down to a hotel where I found her with another man . You can contact them at cyberhack003 at gmail or Whatsapp +15303784744 or text and call them directly on the same number.They helped me get access into her phone without even touching her phone.I have enough evidence against my wife now and I am thinking of Filing for divorce. I want advice from men and other women on here, should I give her another chance because of our kids or file for divorce ? We have a 4months old baby.
People will forget what you SAID .People will forget what you DID But they will NEVER forget how you made them FEEL.
You just described everything my abusive psychopath ex did through the long dragged on divorce. Maliciously disregarded court orders, ignored discoveries, intentionally created needless expensive time consuming discoveries as punishment and retaliation , kept delaying divorce and racking up attorneys fees for pointless requests completely unfounded and unrelated to subject at hand
Thank God I made it to the other side
My attorney told me we need depositions so why are we not doing that now? All so confusing
My attorney told me it takes 6 months! I’m like what!?
My ex filed a motion and we have tons of discovery yet not sure he has shown anything and they tell me we wait? Why? My attorney says not a big deal he will show at the mediation.
What if you and your spouse can’t afford legal representation
Shawn, you are awesome. Just had to say.
