Ring On or Ring Off????

My e-mail of the day:

I know that my request for you to contact a lawyer to deal with me
seemed to you like taking some act in furtherance of something you
don't want. I only asked you to do that because it was the most non-
legal course of action available. I thought of my request as the
initiation of this process, but I understand that you disagree and
you've decided not to contact anyone. Since you don't want to do
that, I will take the first step by c hiring some mediation-friendly
lawyer to complete the necessary legal documents for our divorce. My
hope is that you will take these documents to your own mediation-
friendly lawyer so we can get this done with minimal/no clourt
involvement. If this is too much to ask, let me know.



And my response:

I continue to think that we should not divorce, but I know that that is what you want. Hiring a lawyer is not an easy task-----even when given a list of names to choose from. It is also not a quick process. I have made contact with an attorney to represent me and my interests, but I will not file or initiate the process. We have not met. I have only provided the documents she requested to review. When she has had a chance to do that, I'm sure she will be ready to review the legal documents that your attorney prepares.
