Hi CityGirl! Thanks so much for sharing that info. Very helpful.

Good for you! I am fully prepared to do this as well. smirk

The funds came from the joint checking account which I don't use. H has been the only one using that account, so essentially he is paying for it. If he should choose to go contested later on then I will ask that he reimburse any legal fees should I have to pay them.
