Just received my first attorney's invoice, I took a big hit because of WW's maneuverings.
I don't want to play this game any more. Where is the "eject" button?!?

Agreed - it's lovely to see those emails that say "dissolution invoice", isn't it?!

Maybe I'll go back to law school to be divorce attorney for my second act....

Hmm, I bet it made you wish you could take a live car battery to the lawyer's gonads...

Yes, that would be a start.
I think they're about the same as ambulance chasers. They prey on you in a time of need. The motivation is to file as much junk as possible to translate into billable hours.
My life $ucks

Ok let's stop with the attorney bashing... We are sensitive. BTW, I did do simple family law in the past but this could certainly cause me to change my focus for family law, just to punish cheaters!!!

BTW even though I am an attorney, I am still hiring my own.

I'm in a no-fault state.
Cheaters get away scot-free!
Terrible laws.

CWOL same here to. There are ways an attorney can make it miserable for the other person. I used to work with for an attorney whose H cheated on her, at the time she was a school teacher. She put herself through law school and came back to practice here. Her entire practice was to be miserable to the other side. Before she got too greedy she only took certain cases. Then she began taking anything and was just know that you need to hire her before the other person did cause if you did not she would make your life he11. Now that she is older she only again will personally handle certain fact situations herself cheaters, abusers deadbeat dads but will give the other work to her associates.

Yes, I have many attorney friends. However, family law and trial lawyers are a completely different game, according to them. They weren't able to give me many recommendations cuz they're mostly white-shoe corporate types and those guys have a cloudy reputation.
I'm starting to learn why... It is so unfortunate too, their mission is diametrically opposed to yours, which may be to reconcile and save legal costs.

Yeah I can honestly say unless your sitch plucks a heartstring to them (and they hear it all before) they are interested in only two things their rep and hourly fees. Unfortunately, they know their rep will not be helped by you but the other side saying what a jerk they are so that's how they proceed. Most good ones I know work specifically on a scorched earth plan of attack. That's why I am glad I practice in the field so I can control and weigh in on it.
