About a week ago, we received an email from a friend. We are friends with that couple, and sadly the email was from the wife and said that they are going through a divorce.

My W, who is a SAHM (looking for a job since BD) asked me yesterday if I could go in to work late because she wanted to have breakfast with this other wife. Since my schedule is flexible, I simply responded, "Sure, I can do that."

The thing is, this other wife is a lawyer, and my W hadn't talked to her for a few years. I did not ask W anything about the reason for wanting to get together.

Should I ask W if she consulted with our friend concerning S or D, or should I not bring it up? Should I consult an attorney "in case" she is beginning to consider something formal?

At this point, without any debt (except a mortgage where we are thankfully above water with the worth of the house), I really can't see us fighting much about finances or custody if it ever came to that. So I am uncertain if it is necessary for me to be proactive at this time. But maybe there is something important I could be missing?

I'm desiring the idea that she is just exploring options but I have no expectations.
