You are very wise to seek some form of consultation but I might suggest that you take the mattter a step further and each seek separate consultation, this way you can put something in there that says you were both advised of your rights by separate counsel. That way no one can come back later and say that they didn't know or were coerced. There is really no usual fee. Fees vary from state to state and it really one that can be negotiated. Good luck.

The attorney providing the answer was not serving as the attorney for the person submitting the question or in any attorney-client relationship with such person. Laws may vary from state to state, and sometimes change. Tiny variations in the facts, or a fact not set forth in a question, often can change a legal outcome or an attorney's conclusion. Although AttorneyPages.com has verified the attorney was admitted to practice law in at least one jurisdiction, he or she may not be authorized to practice law in the jurisdiction referred to in the question, nor is he or she necessarily experienced in the area of the law involved.
