Get a grip. Your attorney is going to charge you anywhere from $250 an hour to $750 an hour depending on where you live and what kind of credentials he has. You will pay for phone calls, faxes, e-mails and any writing he does as well as court appearances at that hourly rate. This includes calls where you are flirting with him. You can’t afford this kind of silliness. It’s understandable that you’re lonely and ready to date since you’re divorcing. Lesson number one: do not date your divorce attorney. You are asking for trouble. If he goes out with you, kisses you or sleeps with you, he can get disbarred. Forever.
Try online dating. Ask your friends to fix you up with eligible men. And as a word of advice, keep your dating on the down low from your ex-husband while you’re in litigation. Even if he’s the one who asked for the divorce, men have a funny of way of becoming infuriated when their ex-wives start to date. There is no reason for you to flaunt this or even allow your ex to know about your dating now.
Cute attorneys are not that rare. Find a single one who is not representing you.
