I agree with Root! I had my initial meeting with a lawyer and felt so much better. H also made a lot of threats to me like I'd be working in McDonald's (although I have a graduate degree) and he'd get full custody of the kids by lying to the court and other statements and seeing a lawyer helped calm down 100%. She told me to ignore the manipulations and threats of my H and dismissed them all as a bunch of ridiculous nonsense. I was so relieved! I guess sadly they are used to divorcing spouses making irrational claims and threats!!! Karen
