Fully agree it’s a fiction, but couldn’t she have had the papers prepared weeks ahead?

This is fiction.
It takes a lot more than 3 days to finalize terms of the divorce. It usually takes longer than that just to get both of your lawyers to look over and approve it.
Even if these two people are both lawyers, and decided to represent themselves, you’d need a notary present when you’re signing.

Even if this guy was stupid enough not to run the agreement by his own lawyer, even if there’s no contested assets, etc, he still ain’t signing that thing without a notary.

Its like part of the plot of EEAAO. Where the husband gives the wife divorce papers in an attempt to get their marriage back on track…

I’ve never been married nor divorced, but I’ve heard friends talk about needing to “just bring him the paper to sign” I don’t know if they’re just stupid, or if there’s an option to just nullify the marriage. Granted these people were very poor and to my knowledge had shared literally nothing financially.

They’re either meeting at a notary, or using a traveling notary service that’ll come to you.

Isn’t everything on anon just fiction?

Probably, but this is lazy fiction. How long does it take to search “how long does a divorce take?”

Yes. You’d be a fool to believe it.
