This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is fiction.

It takes a lot more than 3 days to finalize terms of the divorce. It usually takes longer than that just to get both of your lawyers to look over and approve it.

Even if these two people are both lawyers, and decided to represent themselves, you’d need a notary present when you’re signing.

Here in Finland I believe there's a mandatory 6-month separation period before you can divorce.

But also I've had 8 beers a gross amount of rum and glög, an ambien or two and all the weed. So.. I may not be giving correct info rn. I believed I am, but you shouldn't trust me.

Depends on the state in the US. I believe some of them require up to a year of separation.

...you're boldly assuming they did it the right way.

Given that she's the type to take it all back right after it's signed, she probably just googled "real divorce papers" and found the best pdf and just printed it out.

More likely consulted chatgpt, both for relationship advice and divorce papers

I wonder how many relationships AI has already ruined

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 8 hours ago

I'm finally sure that's the sort of thing that AI would refuse to discuss. Even a true AI wouldn't be the best at relationship advice since it has no real world references.

It would be like discussing your relationship advice with a gifted 15-year-old, sure they probably understand more science than you but they've got a clue about relationships.

what if it was fiction from the beginning, but the wife did it as a meme.

Would explain the end of the post, at least.

Fully agree it's a fiction, but couldn't she have had the papers prepared weeks ahead?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Even if this guy was stupid enough not to run the agreement by his own lawyer, even if there’s no contested assets, etc, he still ain’t signing that thing without a notary.

Isn't everything on anon just fiction?

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Probably, but this is lazy fiction. How long does it take to search “how long does a divorce take?”

[–] frayedpickles@lemmy.cafe 0 points 1 day ago

Suspension of disbelief :)

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Yes. You'd be a fool to believe it.

Its like part of the plot of EEAAO. Where the husband gives the wife divorce papers in an attempt to get their marriage back on track...

[–] spicehoarder@lemm.ee 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I've never been married nor divorced, but I've heard friends talk about needing to "just bring him the paper to sign" I don't know if they're just stupid, or if there's an option to just nullify the marriage. Granted these people were very poor and to my knowledge had shared literally nothing financially.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

They’re either meeting at a notary, or using a traveling notary service that’ll come to you.
