That's right. 'Final' means you can go try again with another one if you
have the stomach for it. But the divorce is only 'final' if all parties
involved keep it that way ...ex's tend to haunt and cause troubles ...(I'll
leave it at that ...)

PS: Fortunately for some though, they learn along the way and round 2 is the
real blessing the first should have been had you been more 'experienced' the
first time. Life goes on. Build boats.

Moral: don't paint the name on the boat until AFTER the divorce and
settlement are final.

Ho-ho, STARBOARD!! "Final" is an illusion - such things get people
dragged back into court anytime by inspiring creative attacks even
years later; the list of "possiblities" is endless, and their outcomes
unpredictable. It is always better to avoid any appearance of
spitefulness or "nyah-nyah's". In fact, the best strategy is to
invite them for a sail once or twice - they will usually refuse, and
one has bought goodwill. Should they accept, one need only provide an
inoperative head, bad snacks, stiff vintage kapok lifejackets, John
Cage on the stereo and an empty booze locker. :-)
