Dear Elizabeth,
Next week is my divorce hearing. I am shaking just thinking about it! After 30 years of marriage, I simply want out. I do not want anything, just my freedom. What advice can you offer me?

Dear Mary,
So sorry that you are going through this after 30 years of marriage. My advice is to simply tell the truth when asked anything by the judge. My friend, Marjorie, was in a similar situation as you are now. Your case may last a few days or a week, but her case involved a lot of property, so it lasted a few weeks longer.
In my friend’s case, her always being honest led to her divorce being granted, with her ex-husband having to pay all court costs, his and hers alike. It was a great day for Marjorie. She now lives a happy life and so can you! Being honest is always the best.
Good luck and let me know how things work out.
Best,
Elizabeth
