The thread on paternity rulings made me think about one of my sisters-in-law who divorced her first husband by age 22. She moved straight in with her boyfriend (the reason for her divorce, to be honest) - they lived together for better than ten years before they split up (nasty affair, that - he took off with yet another 21-year-old - he liked 'em young and dumb) . The SIL decided to try to recover some of the extra money she had put into the relationship over the years (paying off some car loans, a little problem with couple of DUI's , bowling league dues - you get the picture). She then found out that he had never divorced his second wife - in fact, the two of them never even filed for a legal separation.
I've often heard or read about situations in which couple split up or remained legally separated for years before actually getting divorced - what are some of the reason for doing so? I'm sure there are some solid reasons for it - but if things are that bad, wouldn't you want out of that mess as soon as possible?
No, Gardens - this wasn't Muggsy.
