[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks so much PP. Could you share the name of your therapist? That's also on my to do list..

I'm in DC so I imagine the Women's Law Center wouldn't work. I will check out New Beginnings.

To the other poster, what is collaborative divorce?[/quote]

https://www.collaborativepracticedc.com/

I couldn't use this when my first marriage ended because things were so bad due my XH's mental illness. However I am getting married next year and mediation/collaborative divorce is one of the provisions in our prenup. Hoping obviously to never need it.  :D [/quote]

I only know ONE woman who was able to pull off a collaborative divorce - out of about 100 divorced women. DO NOT DO THIS. And it gets pricey really fast. 
And if a collaborative divorce goes south, you need to start all over again with a traditional attorney. All that time and money lost.

OP, talk to friends. Do NOT get recommendations over the Internet from anonymous strangers. If you don't know a lot of divorced people, send out an email to your ten best friends, and ask them to reach out to divorced friends for recommendations. Divorced women really want to help each other and will share names and stories with you.

Find someone that you feel comfortable with. Someone honest and reputable with experience. In the long run, you will save money this way.

Good luck to you. I'm sorry you're going through this.
