[quote=Anonymous]What is his income ? What are your expenses on an average month? What are your assets? Ages of kids? If you are not over well 5M collective net work (I personally would exclude retirement in this calculation) I don’t think going toe to toe in court is worth it in VA because of the cost offset: Your lawyers can take $100,000 of your cash over two years. That is a big cut. We would not accept that in any other service. Re family care: If he says he wants the kids, call his bluff. Let him “have” that immediately. No man wants children while they are dating. And nannies- they are a pain in the butt as any family manager will tell you. Men can handle some child care in the short term but they will quickly call you. It’s a bluff. eg This of this like Fake leverage in the divorce lawyers bag of tricks. Just like every item in the “fault” divorce actions allowed in Virginia. it’s all negotiating leverage that EVERY divorce attorney tries (and sadly convinces a lot of nice stay at home moms to try). The lawyers charge like crazy (think of car repairs by an untrustworthy mechanic). you have no idea how much it will tale or how long it will take— it is like no other service. You lawyer WILL go on vacation right when you want something done. Finally, If you fail to pay your divorce firm, they may place a lien on your house in Fairfax or Arlington. That’s what they did to a pal who is in real estate. She disputed the bill because they didn’t do anything. She got through it. So much garbage in Virginia divorce law because of the commonwealth’s legislature gave them so many claims to play with ! All the while your kids grow up. It takes about the same time as your contested divorce. [/quote]
