I'm a lawyer and I've had people call and even pay a consultation fee to ask what rights they have, possibilities and probabilities, when their spouse has mentioned wanting to move out or get a divorce. I have no idea what your H talked to the lawyer about, but that is one possibility. The majority call to file or respond to a Complaint/Petitioner, hire for mediation or enforce or modify, but I just wanted you to know that there are other possibilities, including post-nups or just info.
