Do yourself a favor and just get the divorce and try to not be too emotional over it. It is a formula and the results are going to be the same if you spend $1,000 or $50,000 and drag it out 5 years. You are mad and hurt and unless they changed the law he will not be horse whipped on the town square so just let it go. Right now you want to punish him and what thumping he is going to take is probably not going to be enough to make you happy.

I totally agree. I had her. She wrote my separation agreement up so thouroughly that there was absolutely nothing to discuss come divorce time.
She also included several 'bones'. In other words she threw bargaining chips into it for things that really did not matter to me. She said use those to bargain with not the stuff I want.
She handled it so well I did not even need her for the actuall divorce. The X signed the separation paperwork and we did the divorce a year later with the terms of the separation still in effect.
That lady made my whole divorce so trouble free I sent her a dozen roses. Didn't propose though. I aint marrying a divorce lawyer. But when I sat down to talk to her after about two minutes I quickly realized. "This lady has bigger balls than I do."

The Divorce is a cake walk. Custody is another matter.
If he contests the custody ,or wants it himself ,be prepared to dig deep into your sock. If he is as bad as you say he will probably just sign off on it. However there is Child Support and Alimony also to be concerned with . many times the court will appoint a lawyer to handle the child's case. Yes: the child will have a lawyer.
You wont see a Judge any time soon, First there are "Masters" to deal with. A "Master is usually a lawyer who wasnt good enough to have his own law office and hired on to the State to take the load off Judges. You have to get past them to get into a court. Then there are Counselors, and Therapists ad infinitum. lots of luck ,if you have this settled in a year without spendiong $10,000 you will be one of the lucky ones.

On the Right Side.
My Ex-wife spent over $30,000 for her attorney who wanted to be very contentious. I spent under $1,000. Her attorney said, we will my your ex pay my fees so don't worry about how much it is.
Well to her surprise I did not pay one penny of her attorney fees.

Let's see, I'm 8 months separated now and about 2-grand in the hole with not a damn thing signed thanks to my I-must-contest-everything-just-to-be-an-azzhat-and-still-be-a-thorn-in-R1's-life stbx. When all is said and done, I will have at least spent 5-grand.

Sue Ann is great but If she is booked up I am told another lady rates pretty high as well.
I forget her name and am not even sure I remember it exaclty right but if memory serves her last name is Chessie or something similar. I think she is on Great Mills Raod.
