Unlike child support, spousal support is often very difficult (if not impossible) to modify after the divorce is final, so getting it right the first time is a must!
Well, today I made that dreaded call to an attorney. I have an appointment this Wednesday. I did ask the attorney about counseling and he pretty much said the same thing...it's useless unless it's wanted by both parties. So with that said, I went ahead and made the appointment. I was in tears on the phone so I can only imagine what Wednesday will be like for me. I keep praying for the strength to get through this entire ordeal. Thanks again everyone.
