Hello,
I am new to this board. I am trying to untangle this mess of a marriage. Not sure if we will get a divorce but most people I talk to say better safe than sorry.
I have the name of three lawyers through friends of friends, but how to I decide which one and what questions do I ask them about their qualifications. We have two little wonderful kids who he pretends it is all about even though I know it isn't.
I am tired, scared, pissed and sick to my stomach ALL the time.
Any advice even moral support would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Make appointments with all 3!!!
Most of them will guide you through what to expect (your rights and responsibilities), but you should gather a "list" of your debts, assets, retirement and investments, length of marriage, and income (or potential income) for you both... day to day details about who works when and what arrangements you had for your family (like if you both agreed you'd stay home with the kids for a certain number of years, etc.)

Thank you so much for your reply.....
Have you heard of a maintance fee? When you speak of if we agreed that I would stay home with the kids and how long we have been married. Curious because someone mentioned it once and my big thing is to remain home with our kids, also I am not at all marketable. I have been out of the work force for 8 years and my last job was one I took to pay bills after being laid off.
The holidays were really hard.....even though he tried to make us unified, I am not feeling it!!!!!
Thanks again!
