Hey guys, I'm gonna be tapping you all a lot for advice here, consider yourself warned.

Do you guys think I need to retain legal advice (atty. level, paralegals cannot offer legal advice, they can only prepare and file paperwork) for the separation papers? There's a lot of legalese on even the simple 2-page form. The one and only lawyer recommended to me does not offer free consultation, they want $100. That's not nec. bad in and of itself, but obviously I don't want to get all wrapped up in draining lawyers fees and such.

I can't believe most of my girlfriends here can't freakin' recommend a family lawyer! Honestly.

I just need to be careful. I don't want to shoot myself in the foot right out the gate.
