First, I don't think he is going to agree. He will say that I was reading into things again, or that as much as he wants it, "it will never work", the usual stuff...
Then once I file, it will be MY idea, MY decision. That is what I am expecting.....
My sister is a family law attorney in Des Moines and she already gave me a couple names of good lawyers in Council Bluffs, only 20 minutes from where I will be living (across the river from Omaha).
My advice: Find an attorney you like. One that you trust and that you feel actually listens to you. Don't go with the one who thinks they know best for you and "will take care of everything".
I found there is a huge difference in how they approach this stuff.
Quick update going to sign the offer on our house!!
Stress was b/c buyer wanted us to pay for/provide tile for the basement bath--all we did so far was have the custom tile shower put in.
Realtor wanted estimate of cost to buy tile, which means I needed estimate of the floor of the room. The floor is 5 sided b/c of weird angles, so it was complicated. Long story short I drew the perimeter on Word and e-mailed it to H so he could figure out the measurement. He actually said (but was teasing me) he was impressed I could use the draw function (b/c I am computer illiterate except for Word and e-mailing...).
Anyway after an hour of time and effort, calls to the flooring store to try to get the measurements from them, etc. Realtor called back. Said he would buy the tile and take it out of his comission--he was obviously anxious to get this done!
Problem solved......
And, not to start something, but my realtor is an eager beaver today, and he is a guy!
