This post is in reference to my previous post. Please take a look at that one. I've just gotten served the copy of the petition by the court. I've retained a close friend that is an attorney for legal advice. I just need people's opinions on what to do from here.

{{{{{Baffled}}}}}...<P>I'm so sorry for you...<P>In general I'd recommend (if your friend doesn't mind)...If you need to <B>protect</B> yourself legally (and/or financially)... I usually make the recommendation of finding a <B>good</B> attorney. A good place to start off is at the <A HREF="http://lawyers.martindale.com/marhub/form/by.html" TARGET=_blank>Martindale-Hubbell Lawyer Search</A> site. Do a search within your county... look for only "family law" specialists(>80% in divorce/custody/etc.)... make sure they do a lot of "family law committee work"... if they know the judges all the better... You can normally find a few that will give initial counseling free of charge.<BR><A HREF="http://www.uslaw.com" TARGET=_blank>USLaw.com</A> (an alternative search site)<P><B>KristyAnn</B>... is right...<BR>There is alot to learn...<BR>...check out my <A HREF="http://pages.ivillage.com/re/mb_nsr/MB_GW.html" TARGET=_blank>Welcome</A> post... (geared mostly to infidelity... but can hep all troubled marriages).<P>Go for a Plan A...<BR>...but protect yourself too...<BR>It is a hard... but well worth the effort.<P> ![[Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]](http://www.marriagebuilders.com/forum/images/icons/smile.gif) <P>Jim

Baffled,<P>Welcome to the Marriage Builders forum. You have received some good info to research by Jim. He was one of the first people to reply to me ten months ago.<P>As the day you posted, was my wedding anniversary, I am now divorced.<P>What I would suggest to you, is to first , speak to your lawyer immediately. You must protect yourself, this is something I failed to do.<P>Second, learn about Plan A and the MB Principles and start trying to save the marriage. <P>Your letter doesn't indicate what this is about. If I am reading the other post correctly, you've been together about 3 years, but recently married??<P>Marriage is a commitment we never fully understand til we are losing it. <P>Good luck, prayers, Dana<BR>
