There's hope after divorce

My marriage blew up because I had a pornography addiction that destroyed all trust. The last straw was her finding risqué social media pictures I had saved of women we both knew. I did everything I could to fix the marriage - therapy, porn blocking software, started going back to church, and even did a 12 step program. It couldn't restore the trust that was lost. She filed for divorce. My son was 3. I was devastated.

Three years later, I'm porn free and engaged to my true soulmate. I met her on reddit of all places. I couldn't have imagined a better match. We're madly in love, and my son absolutely adores her. I'm absolutely thrilled for the next chapter of my life. Thank God, my son was not traumatized by the divorce. He was young enough that he transitioned easily into split custody. And to top it all off, I have an amazing and healthy relationship with my ex. We're both getting married this year, and couldn't be happier for each other.

Help me settle a work debate with my boss - is it "due by" or "due on or before"?

I'm a staff attorney for my State's court of appeals. When drafting proposed orders with due dates, my boss insists we say "due on or before," as in "the opening brief is due on or before xx/xx/xx." I think this is madness and believe it should just state "the opening brief is due on xx/xx/xx" or "due by xx/xx/xx." The word "due" already carries a presumption that the person can file before that date, right?

EDIT: Sorry, poorly phrased post - I'm not actively debating this with my boss, and of course I did it his way to be compliant. I'm just asking for my own edification at this point.
