Twink, I am curious if your H acted on his request for a division of your assets? My H is working on this it seems as he has mentioned a few details in our recent conversation. I have not seen anything in writing but anticipate this is coming. I know I will have to secure legal representation soon if he presents me with anything. I am wondering if you had a difficult time finding an attorney considering your H like mine is an attorney. We live in a relatively small community in New England, and my H is well known in the legal world here. I don't know if I should go outside of this community or not. Lots of things to weigh these days, none of it being of my choice.
Sorry, back56, I thought I had mentioned this.
It has been over two months since I told H that two attorneys had agreed to advise me through our separation, and I requested some information related to his businesses before making a specific proposal to him. He has not responded to that request, nor has he pursued matters further. We continue to share finances as before he left, with the exception of personal recreation and entertainment, clothing, gifts, etc., for which we use our personal accounts. That suits me fine for now, so I have put my lawyers on standby.
I live in a small city in a small state. My H is very well-known locally as well as state-wide, and I knew from the beginning I would need to look out of town for an advisor. I asked several attorneys for recommendations, talked briefly to a few over the phone, and met with two who were repeatedly mentioned by the others. Both know of my H, but do not know him, which I think is ideal. If we go to divorce, I will have to choose one, but my dealings with them are helping be to narrow down my choice.
YMMV, but I hope this helps!
