[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could mediate and not have this much drama.

Split 50/50 of martial assets and custody and call it a day. It is not that hard. "Lawyering up" is expensive and causes unecessary drama.

[b]He probably thought you would not be doing "document requests" because[/b] a lot of divorces are not done that way. It is not hard to divorce in a way that causes less stress. But both parties have to agree and be rational and not fight with attorneys.

It sounds like you are choosing the fighting way.

Most men don't divorce "out of the blue."

There is nothing to fight over. Split 50/50 of martial assets and custody. Sign the agreement and file with the court.

If you choose the lawyer up way, that is on you. Play stupid games...[/quote]

He probably thought you would not be doing "document requests" because...... he thought you wouldn't stand up for yourself and protect your rights and your kids rights and that he could hide funds and get away with it.  Now, you have a lawyer, and he can't bully you or make you feel bad about the process.

While there may be nothing to fight over, you still need a lawyer, because there is probably a lot you don't know about what you are entitled to in a "50/50" divorce, not to mention that writing a useful custody and child support agreement involves a lot of detail -- it's not just about how much time the kids with spend with whom.

No woman should go through divorce without an attorney; having an attorney doesn't mean you have to fight or litigate, it merely means that a professional is making you aware of your rights and possible outcomes so you can make thoughtful decisions. [/quote]
