If it only took two meetings and some paperwork, you should be entitled to a big chunk of your retainer back.
I anticipate that! Actually my atty, Rob, told me when I delivered him the signed Decree to wrap things up, "You know, you basically negotiated your own settlement. And you did a really great job."
That's pretty cool! My H agreed to give me:
25% of his bonuses for the next 8 years, unless I remarry first
Alimony = 20% of his take-home pay for the next 8 years, unless I remarry first
Neither of things were legally necessary, but HE offered them...so I took them!
Nik if you want a copy of my 'draft' just so you know what bases to cover (holidays/visitations/insurance/mortgages/etc) I can email it to you...
