[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP if you feel ok doing so, give your state or county so we can give you some attorney recs. You sound stuck and like you might be in a pretty imbalanced and maybe even manipulative or controlling relationship, and as a random stranger on the internet, it’s hard to read this and not be able to step in to help.

If you were my friend, I’d be setting up appointments for you today and would sit with you during the zooms or take you to your initial consults. Please be a friend to yourself. [/quote]

OP here, thank you for this kind response. We are in D.C. My spouse is just trying to protect himself, taking into account his age and unpredictable income (he is self-employed in an industry that can have good years and lean years, and the last few years have been pretty lean).

OP again - I did speak with an attorney about 18 months ago, when I knew I wanted to divorce but wasn't ready to pull the trigger yet. So I can go back to her for another consultation to frame my initial "offer" to my husband. [/quote]

Talk to at least 2-3 other attorneys. You knew different perspectives and personalities to make sure this person is the right fit for you. Do not be embarrassed to ask friends for referrals. That’s how I got access to a really great list of high-powered (but surprisingly affordable) attorneys in my area. If you know anyone in law, people outside of family law often have very good recommendations and attorneys often  circulate internal lists of recommended divorce attorneys within their firms or their professional networks. I asked ~6 people for recommendations and started calling attorneys who came up multiple times on very different people’s lists. [/quote]
