I have to say I am glad I didn't retain an attorney. It would have cost me $5000 up front and probably $12000 total.
So, I would say be prepared to hire an attorney if it comes to that, but don't put the cart before the horse.
My AH quacked a lot about how he was going to 'get his fair share' in the divorce, but didn't have the gumption to follow through with any of it. As it turned out, I had one consultation with an attorney and did the rest myself. Cost me under $1000.
