I absolutely plan to have my lawyer look over any papers he serves me with and file a rebuttal if there are any terms I don't agree with. One thing my lawyer did tell me was to have the current support and custody agreement incorporated into the agreement instead of them being part of the divorce agreement or something along those lines. The state minimum for support for the first child is 17%, no matter what so I'm not going to lose any support. It's the out of pocket expenses that he is giving me a hard time about.
I won't be getting anything from him anyway no matter who files. We earn about the same amount per year, we each have our own car, the house has been sold so we no longer have joint assets, we each have our own retirement fund through our employer (we both work for the state). The only thing he's providing for me right now is health insurance and that I'd lose no matter what when a divorce is final.
