It has been such a hard day. Ended up having ice cream for lunch and watching, "You've Got Mail". Anyway, I finally signed the response to petition for divorce from my husband yesterday. Just read what will be sent to his attorney. He will be so mad when he sees it, because it says that he will pay for my attorney, I get primary custody (he told me he wanted that), split debt (I have been the only one using our card the last 6 months) and that he will pay alimony. Is that the same as child support? His petition was also sloppy (as my attorney said) and named my children with their nicknames and one of the birthdays was wrong. It also stated that he said separation was in June and I said April (that is when he told me he did not want to be married). Not sure if that counts or not because he was still in and out of the house. Seems to me I have a pretty hard ass attorney who hopefully is in my interest, but obviously wants to make money. Question is (I feel stupid writing this), but should I go over my response with him so we can get the arguing done without paying for it? My attorney is not in the office and I will be talking to her before they go to his attorney. I do need help. Worried about money. I want to keep the house and that is mainly because of the kids. Thanks for your help.
