[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again.  Thanks to everyone for your thoughts.  I am definitely going to a family law attorney...not just a general attorney.  We each will have a lawyer to represent our interests, but agree to work together.  If no agreement can be reached, those lawyers are no longer allowed to be our counsel.  [b]My husband really wants to do it this way[/b] as it is easier and cheaper when appropriate.  I get a second opinion before I sign anything.  My hope is that his lawyer is going to let him know how far out in left field he is with his notions, and advise him that he will have to wake up if he doesn't want this in court.  I don't think he is likely to want to lose his shirt fighting that fight, and I don't want to put my kids through it.  I have found more work for starting this fall that won't take me away from the kids too much.  That part actually worked out much better than I had imagined.  Panic is dissipating, and I thank everyone for their support in that!  It will be tough, but we will be okay.[/quote]

OP...who cares what your husband wants, when he has made it so clear that he only cares about coming out way ahead and giving you as close to nothing as possible?

Also, you don't seem to understand that lawyers fight for their clients and try to get them as much as possible. [b]Your husband's attorney won't be looking out for you if your husband is the one paying his bills. [/b][/quote]

Yeah, I think it's pretty clear that Husband is used to getting what he wants, and isn't particularly concerned with your well-being.

And PP is right -- his lawyer is not going to be concerned with what's fair -- his lawyer is going to be working on his behalf to get away with as much as possible.

PLEASE do not neglect the step of running it through a conventional divorce attorney. Although by then you'll have sunk a lot of money into the collaborative route, and won't want to start over -- but at least maybe you'll know what you're giving up.[/quote]
