Someone else said this, Ill repeated with first hand knowldege. Call every divorce attorney in town and setup an appt before you file. Or at least the the most reputable. This will limit your competition. Once an attorney speaks to you, by law he can not represent your wife even if he is not on retainer. Happened to the lady who was trying to buy my house. She had to put the house purchase on hold for a year so we decided to rent. She went through three attorneys in a year... each time costs her lots of money with no results. Her husband had already seen all the reputable attorneys in town.
Another good advise... avoid confrontation, keep your cool and if things get out of hand get legal and law right away. Nothing worse than a women crying victim when she was the one creating the crime. Johnny Law will take her side is she calls first.
Second, you file, give her what she wants and needs. Be reasonable, remember she didnt ask for this, you did.
