Hi, I've been posting here on and off for ten years. One of my biggest problems is with paperwork. I had tax returns from the late 1980's stored in my closet until recently. Today I was cleaning out my filing cabinet. Under "Hold" I found my husband's divorce papers from his first marriage, which lasted only two years, produced no children, and ended before I even met him. We got married in 1979, bought a house in 1981,we had two kids and he died in 2017. He never had any problems with his ex-wife. She remarried also, I met her once and she was quite lovely. He's gone to heaven, why would I need to keep his divorce decree? Well, I put the paper back in the "File" folder and closed the drawer. Isn't this funny? Yeah, i know, I'm gonna take it out and throw it away after i post this.

"One of my biggest problems is with paperwork". It is a funny story. This is how we get these problems, isn't it? Like NewLifetoday said "you never know when things might come in handy". This is why I have a storage unit full of stuff that has been there forever and costs me more each month. I will soon retire and start emptying mine. I hope you were able to get rid of the unneeded papers.

Jannie - it's hard to think of more useless papers than that divorce decree, but my mind immediately went to: what if she's not done writing his autobiography?

Thanks for sharing! Yes, it is so much easier to just file it back away! Glad you went back and got rid of it!

I have read that you should keep your divorce papers forever. However, they are (were) not YOURS.
