Told my wife last week that I wanted a divorce. I have other threads with all the reasons as to why.
At first she was on board with the idea of selecting a lawyer and going forward with an uncontested divorce. Now she wants to get her OWN lawyer and I'm afraid things will get more expensive than they need to be. Ultimately, I think we'll be on the same page about most things. So I don't think we need to spend more than necessary...
The lawyer I spoke to last week quoted $1600 for an uncontested divorce if we could agree on everything. Am I being Naive by thinking this could work? Should I prepare to play hard ball...? How could I convince her that I only want to do what's best for the kids and fair to us...
The only thing that might possibly be up-in-the-air to some degree would be Alimony. And the lawyer I talked to stated that he doesn't think it's a good alimony case for her. Everything else is either a calculate of the state or a 50/50 split.
Any advice? Thanks in advance.
