Question about the process

Hello. I have some questions. I filed for divorce from my STBX last week after he told me about 7 months ago that he didn't love me anymore which completely blindsided me. Long story short, I was pg with our second son and he didn't want to leave me while I was pg. Well, things weren't getting any better and he was refusing to work it out and wouldn't leave so I had enough and filed myself. My question is: so what happens now? I met with the lawyer and at that point I wasn't sure that I was actually going to file, I called him after speaking to STBX and he said to go ahead and do it. So now he's meeting with his lawyer today to file the answer. Then what? Do we work it all out on our own as much as possible or do we have a big meeting like they do on tv? I assume for the most part we should be able to work things out except probably about the house and my request for spousal support since I'm a SAHM. Any info you guys could provide would really help. I don't want to call my lawyer unless I have to so I don't get charged for it. TIA Anna

This question is a good one for musiclover.


My two cents, it depends on if this will go uncontested or contested. I'm assuming that your STBX won't contest the divorce, unless he doesn't like what you put in the petition.
