chicken or egg?

[THX-1138]

advantages/disadvantages to filing jointly versus pushing to be served. it's going to happen one way or the other. thoughts?

ETC

You should absolutely hire your own attorney. Yes it will cost you. Mine is going to run about $5000. But I expect that having him represent me will improve my settlement by $10,000 or more.

So in fact, his cost is really more money in my pocket. And less in my wife's.

Schadenfreude. At last.
