Good morning all,<P>Here's the latest. My W told me last night that she has an appointment tonight with a lawyer. I asked why, and she said she just had some questions. I told her that I had seen a lawyer 2 weeks ago to look into "legal" separations or separation agreements. She said she had talked to her lawyer previously about a legal separation. Both of our lawyers advised against it, probably because of the cost involved. My lawyer suggested we work out an agreement ourselves.<P>As you may know, I've been contemplating asking for some type of separation, so this seemed like the right time to bring it up. I wanted her to know that I was considering a separation before I knew she was to see a lawyer, not as a result of it. I suggested we look into a separation with a written agreement regarding issues with our daughter, division of finances and living arrangements. We got into some details, but she said she wanted to talk to her lawyer and we could discuss it more later in the week. She didn't seem opposed to the idea, but was very non-committal. I really don't know why she was seeing a lawyer. For all I know she may come home tonight and tell me she filed for divorce, but I guess she could have told me that last night.<P>I spoke to Steve Harley about this and he thinks a separation might be the right thing to do. I told him that I didn't know what the current status of her A was. His advice was to continue to plan A until we come to a decision about separating. If we do separate, he said to hold off on plan B until I know what's going on with her and OM. <P>sad dad<P>
