My husband is unhappy, he says things aren't going to improve but won't take the steps to leave and file for a divorce. I'm thinking that it will ease his conscience for me to do it. He feels guilty because I put him through school and now his income is 3x my income.
Where do I start? I don't think he will contest anything so I plan to go to an attorney with everything planned already. Can we minimize attorney fees, etc. if I tell the attorney exactly what I want to do and my husband will not argue any of it? I wouldn't be nasty or anything but I believe I should divide things fairly and make sure that I get a decent start for myself.
Not sure where you live but in my state (Washington) it is a no-fault state so we are doing a mediated divorce - one attorney for the both us and we decided ahead of time how to split stuff up. She just makes sure everything is written up in the correct legal language for the court. We are also seeing a financial planner. It is working for us and if you make at apt. with a collaborative law attorney they will tell you whether or not it is right for you two.
