Just noticed there was a whole page I missed in between replying to Eric and where my reply ended up...
So let me back track...the LS issue versus provisional D...did you look into financial waiver at the court...here, I qualified for a financial waiver meaning I didn't have to pay for court filing fees! So if you qualify then you could do the LS...
Also, in regards to asking H for his list why don't you do what I did...just present yours to him to sign...my H, normally a very attentive guy just flipped through it, asked if there was anything he should be aware of ( I said "no" it is all there in black and white) and then he signed it....I got it back to the court to be authorized by the judged and filed...there was a clause that no changes could be made unless mutually agreed upon that the document was a binding and legal...
My H didn't want to go to lawyer, didn't want to do anything but I needed the legal and financial protection from him and I am very thankful that I did it.
So if you can do the LS I would go that route, I would not make it so "easy" to get a D...here a LS can be changed to a D with a simple document change...so, H would still have that option...and it doesn't cost extra...the extra costs were in filing for a D initially or a LS initially...if you dismissed either one and changed your mind (like I did) you would have to start all over...but like I mentioned, I had a financial waiver...at one time H wouldn't have qualified for it, but I did so it didn't cost either one...usually women qualify easier then men because we have the expenses of the home and kids to include with less income and until CS is ACTUALLY being paid it doesn't count!
