I hear ya'. I have never received an objection either, but this divorce is
particularly contentious so I am expecting fights on every single front,
LOL. What's the worst that can happen if I use 703 without the waiver? She
objects and then by default we end up with 704? Do you know whether there
are any other consequences?

I hear ya'. I have never received an objection either, but this divorce is particularly contentious so I am expecting fights on every single front, LOL. What's the worst that can happen if I use 703 without the waiver? She objects and then by default we end up with 704? Do you know whether there are any other consequences?
