Errata 2

Lawyer stuff:

A commentor has suggested a number of times that I give Mrs_C a set of written reasons for leaving her.

My lawyer has given me explicit instructions that I give her nothing in writing about any subject.

I will follow my lawyer's advice.

Mr. C. . . . I am so glad you have your own lawyer and don't share one with the soon to be X. . . you have not yet seen the venom which shall spew forth. . . get ready.
Money and kids will be the next beat down . . . get prepared.
Ciao

While I mildly agree with blog surfer that a lawyer should not TELL, but rather, ADVISE...it is common sense 101 that says "never put it in writing, unless you want to see it again".

As a paralegal of 12 years before going into nursing, I would ADVISE you strongly NOT to put anything in writing to your wife. She already knows the reasons. She has heard them, verbally, to the point of ad nauseum. Also, she will see it all in writing when the divorce papers are filed. No need to reiterate.

I agree with your lawyer, and your decision to follow his instructions, even if they came in the form of an order as opposed to advisorial.

she kept repeating over and over

"don't put anything in writing"

i'm fine with it.

i said to her "tell me what i need to know, and what i need to do"

also, my lawyer doesn't want a feud. we have a well developed set of arbitration structures for proceeedings in our jurisdiction. i have already given instructions that we are not to go digging in the mud, that this is to be as low cost and non-court as possible.
