The old switcheroo
Today, my fiance's divorce was finalized and we went out to dinner to celebrate. I stepped away to use the bathroom, then came back to a note on the table saying, "I'm going to enjoy single life, thanks!" He left me with the bill. FML

This is a situation when the term "asshole" just isn't quite strong enough.

I like how everyone is insulting OPs husband when we have no idea what happened to cause a divorce. Maybe the husband is an ass, or for all we know OP was a serial cheater...

There's an Australian dude who suddenly became single at midnight. Maybe the two of you ought to get together -- you've got getting dumped on New Year's Eve and posting it on FML in common, which is a more legitimate reason than many couples.

I've heard of people doing this so as to not have to deal with the complications in filing their taxes & having to split it w/their exes the year after the divorce...messed up either way OP. On the plus side, your 2013 taxes filed in 2014 will be all for you though so you won't have to share that with your soon to be ex husband .

Yes, but until the divorce is finalized, they're still considered married for tax law. Handing her divorce papers--although I think the divorce papers in this instance were metaphorical, as you have to be separated for a certain length of time before filing divorce papers--does not dissolve the marriage. So for the 2012 tax year, she'll have to file as Married Filing Separately, which really sucks.
