Did you have a free initial consultation with a lawyer?
Yes, it was just a free initial consultation. I didn't really like her, to be frank. She asked me broad questions and then when I gave her specifics later she acted like I was lying before, when, as you well know, these sorts of situations with H's working out of state complicate banking matters... I'll keep looking for sure.

I'm gonna look into the innocent spouse part of the IRS to see if I can file that.
It's not so much that I worry that I won't be able to do extravagant things in the future, it's more the hurt that the plans we have been making and dreaming about have been ripped away from me. I need new goals, new dreams. Heck, even watching someone have a baby on TV tonight made me sad because it reminds me of the happy times we shared that I fear are lost forever. I worry that all those amazing memories we made in the past, as well as those to be made in the future are now tainted, somehow.
