OK here's my story.
Just over a month ago one of my neighbors caught his wife cheating on him... aside from many other things she already did and didn't do that would piss him off. He always complained she didn't do anything around the house, didn't take care of their daughter, etc etc. I don't know how much of that is fact since I didn't witness any of it. I do know she did cheat, she admitted that. Finally the cheating was enough and he filed for a divorce. He got the papers, giving him sole custody of their daughter and all the possesions. She signs the papers WITHOUT reading them. She would have 30 days to get out once the papers went thru the court, as a non contested divorce. She begged and pleaded with him to give her another chance.... So he told her he would give her a few weeks and see how it went to whether or not he would file the papers. She literally never brought it up again. So 2 weeks went by and he took the papers to court, and filed for the divorce. Since it was non contested and she signed it, she wasn't required to appear in court. They even put it in the newpaper when the divorce was finalized.
She never knew she was divorced.
Everyone on the block knew. Her "friends" all knew. Her step son knew. I admit, I knew too and so did my neighbor. The mailman even knew. It seems that all of us decided that none of us was going to tell her she was divorced and had 30 days to leave.
So today is the 31st day and her now Ex Husband handed her the papers, told her that her 30 days was up. She had to pack a bag and call someone to come get her.
Is it justice or just plain cruel? Was I wrong not to tell her?
