John's wife is seething with entitlement, anger and resentment. That's not a good combination. I see John "lawyering up" as a DEFENSIVE, PROTECTIVE move, nothing else.
I think it's wise.

I want to be crystal clear on this. Her utmost fear is that I will Lawyer Up. Why? Because my family's pockets are a 1000 times deeper than hers. And, she doesn't have the $ to hire one. She is deathly afraid of this.
I think her words once were, "If we go get lawyers and you get your parents involved, it is completely over and there is no going back."
So, I haven't played that card yet. It's my ace in the hole. Not sure when to play it. I think I will take this weekend to go dark, detach, get calmed down, then re-evaluate.
If I get a L, there is no way in hell she will see that as defensive. At that point it's ON like DONKEY KONG.
