Have now 2 consultations scheduled, one tomorrow and one next Tuesday.
Holy cow, looking at the papers - mediation is schedule for Sept 4th - paperwork due 5 days before. Sheesh, you think they could give me a little time
I don't understand that. I think the shortest they've had in any of our motions was 30 days to respond. From what you say you have 3 business days or so, less than a week? There is an incredible amount of financials you will have to generate by that date--doubt it's even possible to do in that time period. That seems strange to me. B/c for one thing it is putting so much pressure on you to hire an L in a day or 2.
I think it's a good idea to have 2 consultations and then you can hire the one that seems like a better fit with you. The appt. you had on Tuesday--if you call them back and explain the short response time you have would they be able to meet with you possibly tomorrow or Monday? Then whichever attorney you hire will have to file for a continuance stating (what one day????) is not enough time for you to file the paperwork.
I have to say if I were you I wouldn't even barely talk to your W now, not only b/c she's acting like a total jerk imho, but b/c it's better for you legally probably too. Hopefully your L will have some advice about this. Karen
