you should see a lawyer for a consultation, its the only way to be able to decide whether you want to go down this road. Many have free consultations. Go to aaml.org and find a lawyer in your area. GL! [ Reply | More

sorry. i guess i'm just wondering if i'm married to a control freak, who doesn't want the divorce, and doesn't seem to want to give me too much money for child support, will it really need to get nasty? how do i get the nerve to fight? what do you advise your clients about this? [ Reply | More

I tell them it takes 4 people for a divorce to go smoothly- the spouses and the lawyers. If any one of them want to make it difficult, it easily gets ugly. Its a process, and even in the best circumstances with people who get along, there is always the potential for nastiness. Its so much easier said than done, but you need to pace yourself for the worst and hope for the best. Dont let anyone (your dh, your lawyer) bully you, be strong. Its your life. You dont need to get dragged into something ugly. You can achieve the results you need without stooping to his level. Do you both have lawyers? Has someone initiated the action? [ Reply | More

sorry. i know you're gone, and i can't see this during the day. i have a lawyer, and he has a lawyer. his lawyer is not so nice because his lawyer wrote the horrible prenup. my lawyer is okay - i'm not that sure. i want it to go smooth, but i know it won't. it sucks. thanks. [ Reply | More
