I was wondering what you were thinking about money in a relationship if it matters or if it doesn't.
In this scenario one would be money dependant until final divorce because the two of them have nothing to do together.
A couple finalizes the divorce by the use of papers such as passports and driving licences, this is why a lawyer is here for. Because a lawyer would think about the use of material but have nothing else to do than to ask for money.
Happy Holidays.
