Matt, I wish I had some advice for you, but my divorce was incredibly amicable, until it wasn't. My ex and I started legal separation in May of 1995, but I didn't get out of the house until the second week of June. Even though, prior to May of that year, we had been sleeping apart for about 4 months.
Very long story short, it took until December 22 for my divorce to be final after some bickering.
I will add this though: I met my current wife during this period. We met online. Both of us going through separation and eventual divorce from our spouses. So we talked and supported one another. Of course it turned to love and we eventually met in person. When we did, we 100% knew we were soul mates. So I'm very glad to have had her with me during all of this. Plus she was a paralegal at that time, so I got free legal advice too!
Divorce isn't the end. I don't know how you're feeling, but please know that that this doesn't mean you're a failure because your marriage is ending. (I felt that way briefly.) I hope things go well for you and everything goes smoothly. No matter what, you'll be fine! Yeah it's scary, but you will get through it and be stronger for it.
