I don't know why I am so nervous! I'm a little afraid that I'll get in there and cry the whole time, and I'm ashamed to have to admit to the attorney that I don't have copies of most of our financial stuff because he has that stuff at his house and I've just let him take care of it all for the past 5.5 years since I quit work. I have access to our bank accounts and credit card statements, but no clue about other investments, insurance and stuff like that. I am sure it isn't uncommon for the wife to be clueless about those details, but *I* didn't want to be that woman! I was very independent before we had kids and have worked in the financial industry - I should know better than that!
Anyway, wish me luck!
Re: First consultation with atty this morning. Eeek!
You should be fine, definitely not the first person to walk through their door saying that. If he isn't willing to disclose that info to you, that's what your atty is for, so don't worry about it.
Good luck. I wrote down any question that I could think of prior to going that way I made sure I got everything I *wanted* to know out there, and of course many other questions came up of things I *needed* to know.
