From the getgo before any quotes Lawyers are very interested in:
1) Bank account, stocks/bonds
2) Equity in home
3) In telling you "if you wait it out you'll win"
4) Her Lawyer tells her the same damn thing
5) Both lawyers probably get together for a few drinks and plan what to do with the money from the couples house and bank accounts.
When a Lawyer has the nerve of taking a 5 grand retainer from you and then charge $93.60 for a 2 page fax (numerous times) to the other Lawyer I know where their hearts are. yes i know even Lawyers would have feelings for this tragedy but facts are they are money hungry creaps who don't give a crap about the people they represent.
The sooner the courts ban Lawyers from divorce the better society will be, every divorce should go threw mediation.
PS, my last one i just said f*** it, I'd rather her have the house than him have a new BMW.

If this is your past expierience I think you might be hiring bad lawyers.
I've had one "tour of duty" and my lawyer was all about mediation, not court. In my personal opinion I was well represented and a fair comprimise was reached by all.
I've dealt with lawyers who post on this forum that have done work for me at no charge because in their mind they felt it was the right thing to do.
Obviously we have had a very different exposure to the legal proffesion.
I just think it's hard to paint the world with such a broad brush.
Back on Topic....
My Heart goes out to this family and all that know them. I grew up in Dalhousie. One of my best friends did as well and he could throw a rock at that house from where he grew up.
It's been in my mind since I heard about it.
RIP
