Short update. This was the text exchange with my W.

M: [told her about the auto paperwork, which she agreed to with a simple "OK."] Also, I would really appreciate it if you could either mail me or email me the D paperwork ASAP. I would like to make an appointment with a lawyer to look everything over before I sign. After that, I'll drop the papers off on the 23rd along with the rabbit.
W: Well the conversion to dissolution papers are just upholding everything that was in the S papers so there's really nothing for a lawyer to look over.
M: I understand. All the same, I still want to go ahead and make an appointment, so if you could send the papers my way, I'd really appreciate it.
W: You already signed the S papers. It won't make any difference now. Also why do you need an L? They aren't ready anyway and won't be until the 23rd. So in conclusion: no.
W: Seriously it's one page that says the S is being converted to a D. Go on the website and look for yourself.
[I did at this point. They were just two papers that said the S was being converted to a D. Nothing more.]
M: Fine. As long as that's all it is.

I'm still planning on meeting with an L at some point to discuss my options. I think it's really weird that W asks me why I need an L when she's told me that she's talked with an L herself multiple times. crazy

If the papers she has ready for me are the ones I looked up online, then I see no problem with signing them. I've already agreed to the S, so a D with the same exact terms is fine. But I'll be wary. If she has any "additional" paperwork, I won't sign anything.
