Holy Crap! $9200 bill from my attorney!

[CanuckAmok]

Sheesh!!!

So that's that, plus an earlier $2500...

$11,700, and we haven't even gone to trial yet.

Thanks, soon-to-be-former-Mrs. Amok! If you're reading this...GOOD RIDDANCE!

1. Sorry to be nosey, but why do you have an attorney?

[CanuckAmok]

12. Not nosey at all...My big, fat Anglo/Russian divorce.

[Dookus]

2. yeah

but that's Canadian money, right? So that's about $46 in real dough.

[JohnnyRingo]

14. Hahaha...Or a six-pack and a pack of smokes.

3. Try to settle.

[CanuckAmok]

15. Well DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I tried. She was interested in settling, too: Her: 100% of family assets, me 0% of family assets.

I had to sleep on that one :eyes: ...

23. Then don't complain about the cost. Lawyers are expensive.

4. well at least you get free health care

and America protects you. :P

[CanuckAmok]

11. God's Mightiest Army...

...can't protect me from my wife. You can read all about her in "Revelations".

5. When I thought about going to law school, I was told:

If you want to make the world a better place, join the ACLU. Of course, you'll make more money at McDonald's.

If you want a real job, then go into criminal law. DAs and defense attorneys do all right, but work their asses of.

The REAL money is in family law. Especially divorce. Long after your money is gone, you'll be taking out loans to pay for your attorney so you can score onw more point against your ex (of course in this case, you may just be defending yourself against your ex, but it all amounts to the same thing).

I feel for you, buddy. Really. :(

6. That's crazy

are you paying for her attorney too?

I think I paid about $800 for a separation agreement, and divorce. But mine was uncontested.

[CanuckAmok]

9. The joke is...

She hired a very expensive, high-profile 'feminist' attorney, and she's in for about $40,000 to date.

Some feminist... "Screwing women @ $400 per hour since 1982".

17. She said: good for uppity strong women

and i am on her ignore list, but i agree

[CanuckAmok]

18. Agree with what?

[CanuckAmok]

20. Actually, I have a soft-spot for my wife's attorney...

She's draining my wife's resources far more effectively than I could ever hope to.

[slinkerwink]

22. you're not on my ignore list or are you....?

;-) I can guess any comments you'll make to me. Heh, just kidding.

[GOPisEvil]

7. Jeez - did you at least get kissed?

[CanuckAmok]

10. No, we cut to the chase, and I just got fucked.
