3kids, just to clarify, you owned a house together that you sold recently? And you each live in a different place now? Do you and your W make approximately the same thing, or is there a big disparity? Did you ask her for the lawyer's fees just because you jointly owned the house, or because it's actually fair financially?
In my case, if H asked me for a penny, I'd be offended, worried, and probably file immediately. But he makes 5 times what I do. I expect him to foot most of the bills, now and in the future. But I know that's not realistic for most people. So, I'm just trying to understand what your sich is.
