Well the origial attorney I contacted when my h first left wanted a $10,000 retainer! I told him I didn't have any money and that my h had all the money. As it goes the attorney wasn't very pleasant - wanted to know what I wanted out of this situation - thought that would be obvious - financial protection. Needless to say won't be using this guy. So now I'm going to start having to call around. Guess I might have to use a CC.
I did e-mail my h asking him to clarify his text message - did this mean he would no longer be sending his checks home so I can pay the mortgage and household bills? I also asked that seeing as he has determined the marriage is over if he would be filing for divorce. So far I haven't heard a word back. I figure he is going to have to run his reply past his sister.
Also found out he is spending very little time at his appartment in Queens - maybe one night a week. The rest of the time he's driving out to LI to his sisters. So he's practically living with his sister and BIL. This was the man who hated LI did NOT want to live there ever (which is why we moved upstate). He is now commuting three hours one way and one of his complaints against me was that I refused to move closer to the city!!!
He is also not spending as much time at work as he used to - he's leaving early in the day and not going in on Saturdays - so he's neglecting his business as well. Maybe that's why it's not going so well?
