Shouldgo........I am giving you a following link to a website that I think that will help you get started.
It is listed by state-----and it deals with most issues that will probably be involved. It is not to replace legal advice, but it can help you organize your thinking and help you know what questions to ask your lawyer. This is good information gathering.
Obvioulsly, you absolutely need to have legal advice-----that is the smart thing to do---as you need to protect yourself and it is essential to know your rights as well as his!
Knowledge is power.
