I'm so sorry to hear all did not go as expected - BTDT but it will all be worth it in the long run. This class is not just required in IL - it is also required here in AZ as my oldest discovered when she was separated and researching the divorce on her own. It is required in many states now as a pre-requisite to divorce where there are children involved. Here - if one of the parents do not take the class, either the divorce is continued again or they are not granted any visitation (divorce granted thought) until they prove to the court they have taken the class. Then they can get the visitation revised. So check out this part before the next hearing - it could either save you lots of stress or give you a reason to 'not miss your ex'.

Just keep on keepin' on! We're behind ya!
