On my way to lawyer's office now. No big surprise, but my wife did not respond to my request to mediate things ourselves. She is still wanting me to take all the debts and doesn't want me to touch her retirement. This despite the fact that California is 50/50.

So now I spend money on a lawyer, and then I'm sure she will do the same, and we grow even further apart. I know it needs to be done to protect myself, just as I know that her actions to date show complete disregard and disrespect for me.
