Thanks Mike. Sounds like I should just pretend like the original papers don't exist. First of all, my H doesn't seem very proactive and with him not being a resident of Illinois, who knows what he can even do with them now. Just to clarify, my H actually lives in Missouri not Iowa, so I am in Illinois and he is in Missouri.
I am looking into finding an attorney. Is there anything in particular that I should look for? Do they usually offer a free consultation? I don't really know what to expect for fees. From my little knowledge, I think that I can get uncontested divorce papers drawn up for a flat fee, but if there is changes there will be additional charges. Is it better to do something with a retainer? What exactly is a retainer?
