I have a hearing to attend this morning. It's about the divorce, but it won't be wrapping things up. You see, when I had Allison served back in August, I didn't include one document because I had previously emailed it to her. She had all the paperwork that I needed to deliver, but the court had no record of her receiving it, so I have to serve her a second time. Allison already knows and I'm working with her to coordinate the delivery.
So why the hearing? The reason I have to appear in court is because I first filed for divorce back in February and it doesn't usually take this long to finalize everything. The court order I was issued simply says "Status Update" in the subject line. I should be in and out in five or ten minutes, but since I filed in the county I was living in a few months ago, I have to drive about forty minutes to get to the courthouse. If I skip the hearing, I risk having my case dismissed and I'll have to file all over again.
While it's inconvenient to need to go to court for something so trivial, it's worth it if it means that I can wrap this whole thing up.
