"I&amp;#039;ve been trying to do my homework before Peter and I get into divorce negotiations. We had looked into a few get-your-uncontested-divorce-done-fast kind of sites because really, we&amp;#039;re in agreement on most stuff and neither of us wants to throw piles of cash at a lawyer if we can help it. Unfortunately, we&amp;#039;ve got a couple of mitigating factors that make it impossible for us to do that. First, our state requires that you use a lawyer or mediator if there are any minor children. Understandable, I suppose, but add to that our second factor - a minor child with a disability who&amp;#039;s going to grow into an adult with a disability, and we really do have to have a lawyer to make sure we&amp;#039;ve thought of everything. Peter and I already have each other listed as beneficiaries on our life insurance, but as I was reading this article about critical mistakes made in divorce negotiations, I realized that it never occurred to me that Peter could be disabled. Any permanent disability would dramatically reduce what he would be able to pay in child support, which would put my house in jeopardy, which would be a very bad thing. Now I have to make sure we have that addressed, and that he has proper long-term disability insurance in place. I already do, but I&amp;#039;m not sure what he&amp;#039;s got and how we need to address that in a legal fashion. There are just so many details to see to, and I seem to find more all the time. I feel like no matter what I do, we&amp;#039;ll miss something. I suppose this is why you pay a professional to do this - it&amp;#039;s their job to remember the details. Did seeing to all the details drive you crazy, too? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
