On point, the WORST Divorce Decree I've ever seen was drafted by an Attorney, doing his own Divorce. I'd guess it would have cost both parties less than $2500 total to get an Attorney on the Front end. Instead, two years later it's cost upwards of $20,000 trying to "fix" it.

Unless you are willing to give up EVERYTHING, you're much better off getting an attorney.

Be angry, be sad...feel all of that crap...use the counselors, your friends, hopefully they'll be there for you. Make them buy the drinks...but don't drown in it.

Heck, go kick a few stray cats if you can find any. I'll send my ex girlfriend's if you need it.  :D

Oh....and don't give up on the house, and certainly do not sign anything that implies surrendering your property.
