[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don’t have to be acrimonious towards your partner, but you want a lawyer who is going to make sure all the i’s are dotted and t’s crossed in a divorce.

It sounds like your stbx had a lawyer draft this - which means it will favor him in some way most likely. Not necessarily because he’s trying to screw you over, but because his perception of what is fair will probably differ from yours.

Make sure you retain a lawyer who asks a lot of questions, and is looking out for fairness. [/quote]

+1.

Don't be stupid, OP. If you and your STBX were on the same page as far as fairness and respect are concerned, you would not be divorcing. [/quote]

I could never be a divorce lawyer. It's some sad ish, broken promises and all. If they were both good to each other, they wouldn't be divorcing. So this "amicable" split is all talk. Keep your commitment to each other if you get along so well.

You get the best lawyer you can get, and you set the tone. A "barracuda" lawyer will listen to what you want. Their job is to represent you. If they are doing too much for your taste, you either have poor communication skills or you did not choose a good lawyer. A good lawyer lays down all your options, makes recommendation and then listens to you. You are the boss.[/quote]
