Thank you all so much for the outpouring of support. I am so fortunate to have found this place.
H is starting up again. Papers are supposed to arrive today. He sent an email saying we need to agree to assets this weekend. I am not going to be ready for that as I am screening lawyers yet. Called one that was highly recommended yesterday. Just called again. Have a voicemail into one I researched but know nothing of other than her reviews are good. Waiting on name of third lawyer from friend who returns Friday. I don't think this happens overnight.
There is no way I'll be ready to agree to assets this weekend. And I assume he can't force me to do it like that. I know he does not want me to see a lawyer.
He wants to tell the kids on Jan 27 and move out the 30th.
He is on fire. And he's had so much time. And I know in his mind, he is so crazy that he thinks by talking to my own lawyer it's hostile. And he's said he'll change tactics if I become "hostile" which I know means by obtaining my own lawyer.
I am sure he obtained his lawyer ASAP as the guy sounds like Better Call Saul.
I am going to have to tell him I am not ready. I don't think I'll even have a lawyer before the weekend. He can go without me agreeing to all this at lightening speed.
He is squeezing me and I know I don't have to do this on his timeframe. But as soon as I let the cat out of the bag he'll come a blazin' and if I don't even have a lawyer yet?
I don't know how much to divulge at this time as I still have no info.
