My H hired a lawyer but then told me we could use the same one, when I told him no he said his lawyer could suggest some. I told him no again that I would find my own. I work for a man some that has been married at least 6 times so I called him to find out a good lawyer & I think I got a better one than my H had.
After we hired our L's, H wanted us to go over things & try to settle. I listened to him but would not agree. My lawyer got really mad at him for trying to do that. He didn't want to pay me any alimony & my L said that was bull sh**, so he didn't try to talk to me anymore except when he cussed me out, then he wanted us to sit down & talk it over. I told him I couldn't talk with him like he was ranting & raving. He said he would be calm but I think he figured out that I taped him cussing me out so we never talked we just let lawyers handle. No fun at all!!!!
After mediation everyone was telling me congrats & all that b/c according to my lawyer we won. To me there was no winning, I cried all the way home.
Didn't mean to take up so much space, just wanted to fill you in on what happened with me. With your H being a lawyer, it will not be good b/c he knows more about the ropes than my H did. My H tried to make me think he knew a lot about it but when I would tell my L what he would say, my L said he doesn't know what he is talking about.
You get back to praying, that will help so much!!! At least you have gotten to see your H & it was a good visit.
