Feeling a bit out of sorts this evening. I got a bill from the L for our consultation last week (£225....eek!) To be fair, we had a 40 min consultation and she wrote a detailed letter to me afterwards. I just hadn't realised she cost £220/hour. So, I know I need to be really prepared when dealing with the L and only use her when really needed, and minimise the time. I worry that my being clouded with emotion and undecided could cost me dear.

Still no news from H. I emailed over a week ago saying I was willing to discuss what to do with the house. I'd like to get the financials started really, and I wonder whether there's any harm in emailing him to propose a way forward - sell the house as part of dividing/resolving our M assets/finances in a deed of separation. If he says he wants to file for D, he can go ahead, I won't stand in his way, but I don't want us to D.

I guess I just panic a little at the thought of taking this step....any thoughts friends?
