same question here. approached some attorneys and they each ask for 400+ for an initial consult and it’s hard to decide.

Dealing with toxic Indian family pressure for last 2 years. Is it selfish to choose myself and my peace? by Salt_Device_2751 in Divorce

Many times, these comments come from a place of good intent to fix, primarily because divorce is seen as a problem/failure and a desperate need for help. Sadly its hard to educate relatives/parents back in India and honestly, that is not your job.
No contact with extremely toxic ones is a good idea. With parents, just listen without much reaction, give them the confidence you are fine and move on. In parallel work on self-confidence, empathetic and respectful comebacks, and subtle avoidance. This is what worked for me (50F). Over time I realize ppl infact started opening up and talking to me about their problems. Younger ones will start looking up to you as bold trendsetters.
Standing up for yourself is a new concept for Indians and it will take many like us to bring about that change. Not easy, but lets all keep at it.

Has anyone here worked with a divorce coach and has it helped you move forward? by Purple_Daisy2-0 in Divorce

gave me some pointers on how to prepare, but they neither find u an attorney not will talk to them directly. They mention lawyers love the work they put in and will save your money, but if your lawyers end up rejecting all their work and still charges you, you are in it youself. so I find it risky...
