Divorce

You know, it's surprisingly easy to get a divorce in this town. Now that I think about it, the whole thing took about one-and-a-half hours. And most of that time was spent waiting for the San Diego Family Court Business Office to open. Other than that, after we got our packet, Kyra and I filed, oh, let's say a half-hour later?

Not quite sure what to think about all this. Maybe it should be a little harder to get a divorce. Susan Moller Okin makes an interesting point in her book Justice, Gender, and the Family that committed relationships shouldn't be particularly easy to enter (for obvious reasons), but they should also not be particularly easy to leave. I wonder whether the whole process Kyra and I went through is a signal that, as long as you don't have kids, divorce these days is not all that different from merely moving out of your former loved one's apartment.
