Hi, I finally got brave and made an appointment with a lawyer to discuss seperation and or divorce from my husband. Anything I should know? Anything I need to ask? Even though having taken this step is a weight off, I'm still so sad and heartbroken. I hope I can stick to this because right now my stomach is in my throat and I feel like I'm going to throw up.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Good luck!
My atty asked about debts and assets, be ready to answer those questions. If I wanted to sell something (like one of our cars) I needed to do it before I filed. Ask about that if you need to. Ask the atty which debts you're responsible for while this is in process and ask how to get the use of some of the assets you have together(house, car, etc) while this is pending. Ask about child or spousal support, how much and how often and ask about visitation. Ask about an order of protection if that is a concern. Ask what you can do about harassment, calls at all hours, etc.
Good Luck
I do hope you got yourself a shark btw. They do not waste time.. they get the job done.
list all your particulars for them...
type it all out for the lawyer.
your name, age, dob, occupation
his name, age, dob, occupation
date of marriage
kids, full names, age, dob
assets: home, cars, rv, property
debts: mortgage, credit cards, loans, line of credit, etc.
how much you need to support yourself
do you want custody of the children if they are young? how much do you need to support them?
do you want to keep the house?..
do you work?. are you able to support yourself?..
reason for breakup?
have you been living apart?.. give a date of the actual separation if you have it.
my lawyers ended up hiring me during my divorce...lol.. go in prepared.. and don't be offended by the hard talk... answer them honestly. Tell them what you want from them too.
Don't be greedy.. well that is my thinking.. unless you have special circumstances that makes you require money.
