I saw a lawyer about 8 months after my X and I separated in Oct of 2003. I had been telling him that he would have to file.

I went to my L basically to see what my options were, what I might be up against. I wanted to make sure that I was doing the right thing for myself by not filing. There was absolute no pressure whatsoever to go ahead and file from the L.

I agree with Trip in that it will do no harm to consult an attorney.
