I had my appointment with the attorney today. He was very nice and didn't even charge me for the half hour. He also said H's attorney was very reputable and a decent guy...he wouldn't try to slide anything under the table. The attorney looked over the papers and said that they looked pretty good. A couple of things that he pointed out that I need to check into..

1. No copy of the Divorce Petition was included. Only a copy of the Dissolution of Marriage. He wanted me to request this from my H's attorney. Any thoughts?
2. Our property is under two separate deeds. The acreage that the house sits on is lumped in with the mortgage and then we have 5 more acres that are under their own deed (paid for). The dissolution shows "the marital residence, all ground, and out buildings located at xxxx" is awarded to me. The attorney was a little concerned about the separate deeds and said I should request that a legal description of the property be added. I really don't want to rock the boat with H and just let this go if I can assume that "all ground" will cover both pieces since they are right next to each other. Thoughts?
3. He said there is no clause that says all personal property now in possession is yours. I think that this is find to ignore.
4. The Entry of Appearance, Waiver, & Consent is missing a line that states the judgement is attached. Anyone have any suggestions for if I should sign this waiver or not. He said that I could sign the Dissolution of Marriage and appear in court. He didn't recommend signing this waiver unless referance to the Dissolution is attached?

Does anyone with any legal background have any advice? I am getting more than my fair share and don't want to cause problems with my H. I would like to just sign these papers and move on.

On a side note, I am back to being furious with H. Found out that he brought OW with him again this weekend. I guess he hid her up somewhere while he was here. Who knows maybe he even took her to the wedding. I think that she even went horseback riding with H, H's nephew, and BIL....unbelievable...I guess she has been accepted with open arms. All I can say is that I deserve better. I do better when I am mad at him, so here I am staying strong.
