LS vs. D - in some states, it's required to have one before the other, I believe? Some states don't actually have a LS option, but a property settlement agreement can replace it.
I always thought you LS before you D - but I see in some states, the road to a D is very short.
Personally, I would LS - it's a transition that can be helpful, I think.
Heart vs. mind - I still think that this is all a nightmare and I'll wake up at some point.
