TimeHeals is my real name: my parents were grieving hippies
LOL!
My parents, Snips and Snails (I'll only use their first names) couldn't come up with anything that seemed to go well, until they finally came up with mine.
Then yes, it does sound like you're reading your situation correctly, or at least what you typed out in that post sounds like a good PLAN (to get legal advice to know your legal OPTIONS).
But you made it sound like you were going to use the "information" gathered from the phone call with this woman (I'll call her "Connie") to determine to what extent you had decided it was best for you and your daughter (I'll call her "D2") for you to file for divorce.
I'm glad you'd never let your emotions and feelings drive such an important decision.
