Kdog, your right that is the attorney jobs. I just thought she would speak up, and not follow everything the attorney suggests.

Thanks DWX, The last time I tried talking about what she is expecting out of this D, I got "I don't really know, I've never been through a divorce before" I just stopped talking after I heard that and haven't brought anything back up.

I agree though, I need to have a real conversation with her as to what her expectations are. I am personally willing to work with her and I feel we can accomplish the same goals without giving all our money to the Lawyers. Im going to let her know Im willing to try and work this out ourself or with mediation. Im also going to offer that if we/she cant communicate face to face than maybe we can communicate through email about all this. I will also suggest that if we cannot come to an agreement, then we can go back to the lawyers. Im not going to pressure her and will even tell her I dont need an answer now and to think it over.

This is going to be very difficult to have this conversation and stay calm, But I know it needs to be done.

Please let me know if anyone has any objections or suggestions. Im open for any/all comments.
