Hi again. I have to laugh. My friend Gina Mcnew just wrote a blog post about the myriad of skincare and beauty products women use compared to men. And how it gets crazy as we get older. I laughed my butt off! I thought you ladies would enjothank you so much Lisa, that helps a lot. I know he tried to blame me for so much stuff, but like I told all of his family and mine none of that added up to a divorce. I do realize it's his needs, it just hurts so bad to think how many years he'sI used Noxzema from the time I was old enough to wash my own face, all through school and into adulthood.

I would contact your local County Bar Association….they can give you a list of divorce attorneys in your area, then I would have an initial meeting (they usually don’t charge for this initial consult, or a minimal charge at least)….I would interview a couple to see if you are a “fit”…..then most of them will be able to guide you in all your quesitons on health care, spousal support etc. They usually require a “retainer” once you hire them, usually a couple thousand dollars….good luck….the best thing I can suggest is for your and your soon to be ex to work out as much as you can over the kitchen table… no sense padding the attorney pockets…..even if it is uncomfortable and painful, it is definitely cheaper.
I highly recommend mediation. If your husband will agree to it, it is one lawyer for the two of you. he or she is on neither one’s side, and you negotiate the best settlement for both, as reasonable adults, no punishment, no acrimony. Very civilized, and MUCH cheaper. There are divorce mediators in every city. They also know how to do all the paperwork.
