IDK where you're located at, but every L around here charges at least $200 for an initial consult.
That is nothing compared to the cost of two lawyers arguing.
I believe it would be good to go to divorce court and watch some lawyers in action. That doesn't cost anything but your time. Plus you can get a view of how the system works in your area. You can then contact the ones you liked.
Absolutely. I still have the L I consulted with, and I think she'll be fine. I've heard good things about her, with the only knock being that she's relatively young. As long as the W remains amicable, all I really need is someone to lmk if I'm secretly getting screwed.
