Ugh, you've got a self-proclaimed doctor on your hands too? He'll probably represent himself without a lawyer, too, since he knows more than all of them put together, right?

If you can, talk to some legal advocates through abuse shelters before you have your appt. with the lawyer. It gets expensive if you start spending time discussing the emotional aspects of things. You're getting billed for basically a counseling session, and that's not their area of expertise. If you can get the freebie info first and set your mind at ease about what he can and can't use in his favor medically, you'll be better prepared to go into the legal meeting.

Good luck.

Oh, one other thing, your husband shouldn't be able to say or do anything that might sabotage your relationship with your son. If he does, it can be used against him in court. Wisconsin has a special statute for that.
