Nonagenarians Mr. and Mrs. S. Spencer Mertz, having filed for divorce, met with family law judge Chad Eversole. Mr. Eversole, noting the Mertz’s  ‘age,’ asked, ‘This may be awkward, but why, after 65 years of marriage, have you filed for pro se divorce now?’ After the couple bickered for about 15 minutes, Mr. Eversole, interrupted, noted both Mr. Mertz and Mrs. Mertz acknowledge  ‘we should have done this sooner,’  prompting the judge to ask, ‘Why, did you wait until now to file for divorce?’ In unison, Mr. and Mrs. Mertz responded, ‘We wanted to wait until the children were grown.’
