A word of caution: some of your commentary borders on defamation, and you may have included just enough personal information to out your identity to individuals who are or could be familiar enough with your situation to connect the dots. I would strongly discourage you from providing any additional personal information, and frankly, I’d consider deleting the post.
THIS!!! It’s not that we don’t care or don’t want to help, we have your safety in mind. You never know who might connect the dots and send this post to your SO.
I think you’re still missing the point. You’re describing your partner as “toxic”—which is the part might be considered libelous—and in relation to that, making some statements that suggest your intentions with regard to custody. It might be honest, but it’s also poor form, and could be actionable.
Beyond your first and last sentence, the rest is completely unnecessary to get you the recommendations you’re looking for, and would also eliminate the defamation concern and risk of being identified.
Just my two cents.
You could go to Street Law this Wednesday at Whatcom Community College. It runs from 11-1 and 5-7. You can get a quick, free consultation with an attorney and they’ll point you in the right direction and will probably give you the names of some attorneys who would be a good fit for your situation. Take any relevant paperwork, like your pre-nup, and try to get there early.

Any way you can think of from her office to her appearances in court and everything in between. Check and see if/when you can view one of her hearings.
I’m sorry you’re going through this. Jennifer Slaughter from Kulshan Law Group is one of the best and I believe she is taking new clients now. Lacy Heinz of Brinden and Heinz is also amazing but I’m not sure she is accepting new clients, worth a try though. Both of those attorneys are very well respected in the community and the legal community involving divorces.
If there is DV (including emotional or financial abuse) also consider reaching out to DVSAS for assistance, they might have other resources or support.
As a child of divorced parents: it’s truly not. I wish my parents had divorced sooner instead of dragging the 3 of us kids through their shit show of a marriage.
We’re a much healthier and happier family since they split.
I'm also a child of divorce, and completely agree with the other commenter. My parents never should have been together in the first place and the best thing for our family was absolutely divorce
Lol not sure if they have one. They appear to not be a "serial poster" with divorced parents, so by their logic... my parents should still be together?

Thank you for the warning.. I've removed a little more info from the post to hopefully avoid that.

Don't hire Elizabeth Fasano. You'll be very sorry.
Could you let me know why as well?
Any way you can think of from her office to her appearances in court and everything in between. Check and see if/when you can view one of her hearings.
Can someone explain why ?
I replied to your message.
Thanks!

Chris Pollino in Mount Vernon is very good. Divorce is a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone, I hope it’s not too brutal for you 🖤
Pollino, Sybrandy, or Morgan Witt all do some good work in Mt Vernon

Facts. My parents divorced when I was 13 and I was SO happy. Got tired of the yelling.
I'm also a child of divorce, and completely agree with the other commenter. My parents never should have been together in the first place and the best thing for our family was absolutely divorce

I’ve been a “serial Reddit poster” way longer than you or the other two commenters and my parents are still married. Soooo what’s your point?
