This afternoon, I am having my first sit down face-to-face with WW and the attorneys. I would appreciate any advice or "pearls" that you may have concerning these meetings. My plan is to say nothing and let my attorney do all the talking( as per my Plan B letter). I am 18 months out of my house after a 2 day false reconcialtion. BTW I am located in California, a community property state. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Have a plan, know your boundaries, and the lines you won't cross. And be willing to negotiate - after all - what is truly important to you?
I don't know if you have kids, but custody seems to be the worst to determine.
It was a marriage that never really started.

newly,
Thank the Lord there are no children. The only thing truly important to me was my marriage, everything else is disposable. That said her life has/was always based on the illusion of happiness. Material things make her VERY happy. Is it wrong to not want to make her happy?

No, it is not wrong to want that. Only human. But don't do anything just for spite - you have to live with yourself later. But don't roll over either.

cyllanlisa,
The state of California is set up so that spite ( or honesty or faithfullness)doesn't enter into the equation.
Thanks for your input
