My WS and I are both fighting and neither one of us want that. Unfortunantly, my wife has an attorney who tells her what to do and she is listening to her. I have an attorney who wants to attack her attorney. WS wants to use a Restraing Order only when she wants to keep our children from me. I want to remove the Restraining Order because of her frequent breaking of it. How do we not go to war when we both do not want to but are afraid of the other and our spouses lawyers.

Glen,
Sorry for the shortness previously. I don't think that you are the first couple to be "forced" into a divorce before things are thought through. When your lawyer gives you advice he is partly speculating on what your wife's attorney might do and vice versa. In essence, what you guys want your lawyers to do is to portect your best interest. Often times that means being active rather than reactive on their part.
If neither of you are sure if you want a divorce then stop the whole lawyer thing. Sit down together in a quiet spot and talk. If need be have a unbiased friend, a pastor or your counselor there too.
This isn't something that needs to be rushed into.
God bless

Glenn:
Ever hear the one about what's the definition of a crying shame?
A: a busload of lawyers going off a cliff with 2 empty seats!
...only the 2 seats should have been occupied by your and your W's lawyers! Making it a 2bly crying shame!
I agree with d-rose. The best way 2 end this fighting is 2 replace the lawyers with some really good marriage coach, like the Harleys or cerri.
I'm serious, I think that's what you should propose 2 your W.
best,
-ol' 2long
