Not sure on the lawyer part, the fact that she would readily discuss going to see one seems a bit open. I'm sure she is weighing her options and she knows financially she can't live on her own so I think she was feeling out the alimony, child support, custody options. All the same things I discussed with my potential attorney as well. I saw a $425 charge from her attorney which is too small for a retainer, hoping it's just a consult fee but could be a filing fee too now that I think of it.
