Yes, I have a lawyer picked out who I really like. Until he files there is not much for me to do. My L did give me a list of homework to do. Mostly documents and financial records to copy. My IC is helping me to decide what to fight for realistically on behalf of my D3.
Not to quibble, but why are you asking IC for what is actually LEGAL advice? Why not leave that to the L? We're not all monsters and since you actually like yours, let them do their job. There's nothing worse than getting conflicting advice from professionals and some who are not in the same field. I mean, if the L gives you psych advice, and it conflicted with the IC's I would say go for what the IC says. Similarly, if the L says do "x", and the IC disagrees, please do as the L says. I am hoping you don't set yourself up for conflict between them, and more painful confusion for you. It also sets THEM up for possible failure. Know what I mean?
As far as wanting to know who is with my D3, I decided against it for those same reasons. It won't help with my detaching. Its nothing but a crazymaker.
Yes it is a crazymaker. For now, let's avoid crazymaking. I mean the holidays do that enough on their own, so, let's minimize it while we can.
