I retained a divorce lawyer (without any kind of money) and it went on for 2 years and some lawyers won't charge you until the case is settled. I finally took the bull by the horns, went to my lawyer and told him to get off his butt! I wasn't happy with the slow pace in which my lawyer was dealing with the divorce as there were no children or properties/monies involved. I marched down to his office and blasted him and I sat there while he phoned my husband's divorce lawyer. Since my husband was the one that was cheating and I proved it, all I had to do was to have my lawyer tell my husband's lawyer that he could foot the bill for the divorce or I would Contest the Divorce! Even though I was going for the divorce myself, I could have tied my ex up in court for as long as 3 years. I was smart enough to realize he had a mistress on the side putting the heat on him, so I went for "contesting" and won. I do live in British Columbia, Canada, so if you are American your laws could be a little different. I suggest you go onto: Type in: What are some ways you can pay a lawyer's retaining fee? Marcy

We do not recommend lawyers at Answers.com. You should ask around amongst your family and friends. If you have a family lawyer you could ask that lawyer for recommendations.
You will not get in trouble for doing that. You are free to share any information that you have, with your lawyer.
You probably can divorce after 4 years of separation. See a lawyer. The lawyer would know the rules in your jurisdiction. It is almost automatic after one year in this jurisdiction.
Not as an attorney, but could mediate an agreement. Each has to pay exactly half the fees.
In the process of getting a dirove, it is NOT necessary to hire a lawyer but is highly recommended. The easiest way to get a divorce and settle issues with your spouse is to get together, talk everything out, and divide all belongings without the need of a lawyer present. You do not have to have a lawyer for a divorce, but if you suspect it could get ugly, get a lawyer. It is cheaper than losing everything to your ex-spouse. No divorce is cheap.
Only a lawyer in her state could answer this.
