I'm so sorry Belle. I didn't mean to shake you and after reading my reply I guess it does sound frightening, especially written in red!

I just want to make sure you are protected. Talking with Ls will enlighten you to the particular D laws of your state. And yes you should talk to several. Think of it as a new learning experience - knowledge is power. You are just arming yourself in case your H tries to pull a fast one. Some Ls will offer an hour free, some will charge for a first consultation and then if you hire them, will charge a retainer. Mine actually gave me two consultations for a discount before I decided to retain him.

Just follow your brain on this one. Your heart is saying "no, I don't want this!" I understand Belle, I never did and I still don't, but my brain says "take care of your future - don't let him bankrupt you". Your H is only thinking of himself now. Actually, he's not really thinking at all. That's why you have to be the smart one.

You can do it! Again, please accept my apology for upsetting you.
