SA,

I talked to recently divorced ( within the last 2-5 years) friends, friends of friends. This is a fairly small area. I was referred to an attorney in Nashville, AR ( about 3 hrs. away) I called his office, and he actually got on the phone and spoke to me. He was very nice. Explained that the bills of driving alone would make the D extravagant in cost. He then referred me to a local lawyer, who he considered as equally adequate to handle the job. I took his advice, as the lawyer I've always used for 'little things' is somewhat lax.

I know it surprised the H out of my H when I didn't use the same old same old. He didn't see that coming, and had already retained the services of someone even I tried to tell him was not a good lawyer. Of course that just made me "Miss Know-It-All" He knows it now. Good Luck.
