This book will focus on the rights each spouse has under certain laws, situations, and circumstances, and how the division of the property will be decided by the court or through negotiation.
It's a game. You have realized this, I'm sure. Attorneys all seem to be on a "side of their own" to make money. The more you can negotiate WITHOUT them, the better. Sadly, we all realize this AFTER the divorce is FINAL. They prey on emotions. Good luck to you. My bet is that, in a year or so, you will both agree that you were "had".... That monay you spend on emails. calls to the attorney, conferences to his assistant, etc. will seem so pathetic/unnecessary. If I could give quality advice, I would say COOL OFF.......THEN NEGOTIATE! No matter what you feel is unfair, it will be MORE UNFAIR when an attorney is involved! When we do this (negotiate)in a clear state of mind, the attorney is very helpful in the final decree - that's all. I come from a family of attorneys and I hear the chatter...and I've BEEN THERE too.
