Re: Should I do this? justagirl: Definitely get a lawyer. When I saw my lawyer, I went with our "agreement" in hand (which I thought at the time was fair), and when she ran the numbers, he was going to be getting about 65% of the financial assets, and I was going to have custody of our child.
What seemed good on paper was NOT good.
He's not going to look out for your interests. You need to find someone who will.
Re: Should I do this? Lumpy: Do you have some other form of income? I'm in CA as well and was unemployed at the time I counter-filed and the fees were waived. Don't leave this up to his discretion. Borrow the 3 bills if you have to. He could tell you that he'lkl give you the 10 days and not follow through. This is a very dangerous position to be in. Cover your butt!!
