I took a moment to talk with wife the other day, initially about our sons, but then she spewed and i defended.... In the conversation she said she hasnt filed because she hasnt had the time. Then went on to still try n say that we can do it without lawyers, and then that she wouldnt be able to afford a lawyer or court appointed attorney.
I'm sorry the conversation didn't go well. In no way would I not get a lawyer. Don't fall for her trick, otherwise it will backfire. Immensely. If she can't afford one, that's her problem. She wanted this and she will have to deal with it. Not all of can afford one upfront, but we do what we have to in order to protect ourselves.
Keep it up!
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
