Why, thank you!

If you decide to approve your atty's desire to do this be sure to have a conversation with him about the legal ethical code and make sure he knows any violation is not acceptable to you. And ask that he keep the conversation to a discussion about legal consequences and not about morals. Legal consequences can be sobering to hear about - being lectured about one's morals will only add fuel to the fire.


I don't do morals at all. Not my place. A statement about the ethics of infidelity - absolutely. But not morals.

Let us know what happens.

Starz,

I quote from a post from TTSI

This is an interesting question. I can't recall anyone else here having a lawyer want to do something like this. I have a feeling you have a good guy for an attorney

In my whole impending D disaster the attorney FOR my WW was instrumental in asking and bringing in a Christian minister after he heard my wife's story. Now THAT, I had never heard of. Even though it turned out to be a dismal failure, I await the day when I can approach this attorney and thank him from the bottom of my heart for what he tried to do to save our M.

Sort of makes a lot of the attorney jokes go away when you tell that at a party.

cerri - I personally don't like the thought of an attorney representing "moral" positions in the guise of also representing faith. Could be my bias against would be Elmer Gantrys who think they know what they're doing, but can't see past their own biases or self importance. I just know how I'd react if an attorney, in addition to describing legal ramifications, stepped over the line to also preach righteousness. Pot, meet kettle. Oil and water. Further, anyone can claim to be "christian" as we frequently see here from folks who don't know simple right from wrong. </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">But hearing good, hard, realistic, legal information about what to expect in a contested divorce? I think more attys should do that. </font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Absolutely! Good hard legal advice! Consequences that hit right away!

Just not mixed with preaching from a self anointed holy man.

JMHO, no more on this from me.

WAT
