Don't feel bad. I'm glad someone actually spelled it out for me. Nobody really seemed to have too much of an opinion other than "Get a lawyer". With your response, I felt like some of our situation is similar and you had your reasons for telling me what you did.
I've been trying to live in denial all this time and your response made me have to really think about it.
Sorry to ask so many questions, but did you go to several lawyers, and did they all offer free initial consultations?
And what is a retainer fee? Something you have to pay them just so they will be your lawyer?
I am so naive when it comes to this - it will certainly be a learning experience.
