WAW New life with OM

[ppenton]

Well, met with one attorney yesterday and have called a few more to help me determine my rights and what I need to do to protect myself and my kids. The attorney I spoke with yesterday was great and she answered all my questions and gave me lots of guidance and advice. I really learned a lot and feel more in power of this situation. I still want to work on M but as you all know I/we cannot control the WAWs, so I’m just looking out for myself now.

Does anyone have any good questions for a lawyer or advice I should look for in determining which a attorney to go with?

BTW: walked to my brother’s house last night for dinner and had a good night discussing my options and I told my family that I’m taking my time in this process and trying to learn as much as I can. Trying to learn about the law and how to be a great single parent.

Another note: S13 gets migraines (inherited from his mother) and W was supposed to find a specialist last fall but failed to do so and he suffered a major one yesterday while trying out for the track team. W felt so bad that he was in pain and I reminded her she was supposed to find a specialist for him but for whatever reason didn’t do so last fall. (I now know why it was cause that’s when she started being selfish and only thinking about herself) She wanted to know if I blame her and I told her that we should now focus on today and get him help for the future. After I got off the phone I called a friend and of course I blame her as she dropped so many projects/tasks last fall that I didn’t realize that happened until I look back now.
