Wendy PLEASE just get ALL your ducks in a row. I let my xh talk me into using the same lawyer and we worked things out ourselves also. BIG MISTAKE! I let him bully me for one thing and I had NO CLUE what I was doing. People tried to tell me to get my own lawyer. BUT I didnt listen, imagine that, me not listening. lol Anyway, I didnt have the money to get one so I used his. I am paying for my mistatkes. So just be careful.
I am so sorry he is a jerk! You are so understanding. I was ONE bitter wife. I actually wanted to hurt my husband. Yep I was bitter.
