I actually met with a lawyer when I receieved the papers months ago. Essentially he said it's legitimate, but I had no obligation to sign. The other issue was my wife has the wrong county listed in the paperwork, which I don't think she realizes. Essentially he said either she would have to file or I would. I might need to inform my wife that even if I signed these papers, the information is wrong and would need to be corrected.
Either way, one of us is going to have to offically file unless she has the paperwork corrected.
I haven't responded to her yet, as I really don't know what to say. Might sound minor, but this is a total 180 for me. Obviously the stakes are high, but I would normally speak first and think later. I have become much more in touch with my emotions, which allows me to be more patient and understanding after I have had some time to cool off and not emotions get the best of me.
