I don't think the fear is DRIVING my decisions... I'm just generally terrified and having to convince myself to move in any direction (including reaching out to a new lawyer).
Terrified is a big emotion and I think if you sit with that for while it may go from terrified to I can do this.
Very few things in life have to be done RIGHT NOW!
If you looked at the house previously, thought it fit you and your family and it's just the fear of doing this on your own, that's one thing.
If it's that you're generally terrified and have to do something to make that better and buying a house and moving seems to be it, then you might want to sit tight for awhile.
Only you know where that feeling is coming from.
bdub's advice is spot on. Buying a house while still married should be thoroughly investigated in your state.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
