She went and got the lawyer quickly, and planned everything she is wanting to do (she is totally the planning/make it happen type). She pretty much told me that she had made up her mind, and there is no changing it, even though I begged (past tense) for MC or individual MC, whatever. Her plan was to do this a)un-contested, with us agreeing on everything and "saving money" or b) she was going to get the lawyer to write up Seperation papers and begin the support process and spend more money to get to the same place. She keeps "reminding me" that it only takes one person in the M to get the D.
I could at anytime, deny the D and move it to Contested. I have not read anything about TN that would have a judge order MC.
