Do I point out these issues? or just blindly go in there (I am not blind and already know what I would/wouldn't agree to) with her?


JS - My EW and I split the cost of our D 50/50. We did not go to mediation and we hired 1 L to complete all the paperwork. It cost us about $250 to file with the County and we paid $750 to the L.

I say that to say this. Do what your comfortable with, there is no right or wrong answer and it strictly depends on the R between you and your W. If you are comfortable and are knowledgeable about your rights then proceed. If not, don't.

When my W told me she wanted to move forward with Divorce I agreed to meet with her at a time that was good for the both of us. She made the appointment with the L that was good for both of us. I did pull our financial documentation because I handled all of the bill and investments and I did proofread and make adjustments to our final Divorce decree.

In the end everything that my EW and I agreed upon was done so between us. No else advised on anything.

That made me feel extremely comfortable. My EW also agreed to not have the state auto deduct my child support payments from my check each month.

Don't be scared and do what is comfortable to you.
