NikkiB's new thread, new life

This is a quick cross-post to something I posted in the D'd but not done section too - just to see if you guys have any feedback also.

If you've been through a D or know someone who has - roughly how many attorney hours were required for a fairly simple D? (mostly amicable, no kids, but assets to split up)

As you know I’m still fighting for my M, but also trying to keep my eyes open. I just found out that through my work, I can sign up for a prepaid legal plan and I’m wondering if I should. This is in addition to the free 1 hour consult that I'm using to ask my separation questions.

I’m trying to decide if I should sign up and if so, which plan to get. In both cases it wouldn’t be “covered” for D until I’ve been enrolled for 6 months, so it may make sense to sign up now. Here are my choices:

Option 1: $17 per month, covers 23 hours per person or 100 hours per family per year.
Option 2: $24 per month, covers 46 hours per person or 200 hours per family, per year.

In both cases I’d also get a 25% discount for hours beyond what the plan covers.

I don’t want to jump the gun, but it seems like this would be smart. If nothing else I can use it later to put together a will, power of attorney, and that kind of estate planning stuff that I’ve been putting off. And if the worst happens with the D, it seems like this would be far less expensive.

Any thoughts on which plan, or if I should take advantage of this at all?

Thanks!
