My lawyer's response was, "if I said that, I was mistaken." OMG...really? I've had the impression my lawyer has worked with many divorces, so I would think the 401K is fairly common in a divorce (?). I am not sure what to think. I had the impression he was trying to cover up because he gave me a long, drawn out explanation of circumstances of why I would have to pay taxes. I interrupted him and said none of what he was saying applied to me since I would be rolling over the 401K. He said, yes, that is true.
...my divorce is in 2 weeks so if you're inclined toward prayer, please pray for me. I believe in the power of prayer...just didn't think I would be asking for it while feeling uncertain about my lawyer! Here's hoping it gets better from here on out.
