AFG, I said I needed to think about your letter... I dunno there was something about it that "didn't feel right." At this moment there are TWO things you need to know (and people are trying to tell you.)

1. Knowledge is power
2. Subterfuge and the element of surprise are your friends.

Feedback on points 1-4:

1) You don't owe your H an explanation for anything.

When he asks,
AFG: "Something came up and I needed the money urgently."
Him: "WHAT?!!!? ^#$^#$%YTG$%&# etc."
AFG: "I'm sorry you feel that way. All I can tell you is that it was important for my well-being. You wouldn't want me to die, would you?" <--- important... DEFLECTION.

2) You DO NOT want him to know that you have done research, are legally competent and completely clued up. ESPECIALLY when he is NOT in the same room with you. This will gear him up into BATTLE MODE. Panic and fear will drive him into protecting his ass-ets. Anyway he can.

3) You do not want to reveal your evidence beforehand. You use it at "the trial" to convince him it's better for both of you if he does things YOUR way.

4) You move things along much quicker when you do it face to face in a cool, calm, collected and confident manner. You don't do that with a letter or email.

If this is what you want to achieve you meet him in a coffee shop/public place tomorrow. You tell him what you want. You DO NOT reveal how clued up you are. He will go and do his own research.

Yes, I know that you're in a hurry. The truth is these things take time. ESPECIALLY because it's the holidays now. The GOOD and successful lawyers are all at ski-resorts or on the beach right now, only the crappy ones trying to eek out an existence are left behind.

You telling him how he stands in the eyes on the law will not go down very well. This will provoke him to get his own opinion. Him finding these things out on your own works more to your advantage.
