Do I need a lawyer?????

If you're going through a divorce, then yes, you definitely should get a lawyer.

Sounds to me like you need a lawyer. They aren't cheap, but it sounds to me that he can afford to be amicable, because he's the one in the condo.

A lawyer can see to it that you get your fair share, and it doesn't sound to me that he's trying very hard to sell it either

A lawyer can see to it that he moves, and you get half of everything in the condo, and when it's sold, you get half of that.

It's the only truly fair thing to do. There are paralegals for the paperwork, which don't cost much, but that doesn't help you with the rest of your problems. That's why a lawyer becomes necessary.

I don't know how much a lawyer in your area costs, because a lot has to do with where you live, and the going rate in that area.

Ask around. I'm sure you know of friends, or people you know that can give you an idea on whom to go to, and what they charge. too.

If you have a mutual bank account, you'd better see what you have in it, especially if part of that money is what you earned.

Get your own bank account, if you haven't all ready, and remove half of it, and put it in your account for your expenses. You have that right, since you are still married, and he doesn't seem to be in any big hurry to desolve your marriage. Make it work for you as well as it seems to be working for him.

Sounds like he's got his cake, and eating it to. Good Luck!

You guys don't necessarily need a lawyer but I would recommend it. Try contacting your local legal aid clinic. There they give assistance in document preparation and submission and most forms can be downloaded right off the internet and then take them to your respective clinics for assistance and to your local clerk for filing. Finances can be determined by tax filings bank statements and job information. As his spouse you can obtain these things on your own. Also if that does not work enter into one of those prepaidlegal groups and use there services for minimal fees and get the same result. Also most state bar associations require members to do a certain amount of probono work(for free) so I would recommend contacting them as well.

In regards to the condo...what is the selling price,area and state and I could offer assistance with that sale.

Yes hire an attorney. The price is very little for this type mediation. It might be amicable now but it just might not stay that way. Get everything in writing by an attorney. Good LUCK to you two.

Sorry, but you do need a lawyer. However, if you contact an attorney before he does, then you can make him pay your attorney's fee. Make yourself a list of the idems that you want, that are still in the marital home. Search for lawyer that gives a free consultation. If the divorce isn't contested then it shouldn't take long to get your decree. GOOD LUCK!

I can't say I know much, but I do know there are "bolier plate" type kits for people in your situation. They are intended to provide/guide you through the forms, etc. You might try a computer software store as I wouldn't be surprised if this can be found as a software package. Might make your life that much more easy. Good luck with this, and with your fresh start.

You need a lawyer. Some will even give you a free consultation.
