eek!
Was it something you said?
More to the point, full marks for being even remotely rational and humorous about it. Was it to go shopping, and the 'papers' are receipts from FCUK and a few department stores? Or if as implied, was it something you expected and the forthcoming papers be along the lines of FCUK but different?

Out of the blue actually. Drove her to the airport, kissed her and the kids goodbye for a three day trip to see granny.
I do expect the forthcoming papers to have all sorts of rather objectionable clauses and sub clauses in them. People that write like that don't come cheaply.

Also sympathies for what's about to happen to your wallet and bank balance, and any property. I divorced the first mrs tb a few years ago, no point in going into details, it wasn't something I had expected to have to do but was absolutely imperative. Even though I hadn't done anything blameworthy and was getting out as there was no other option, and the lawyers were kept out of it as far as possible, the legal system in this country is so loaded in favour of women that the past few years have been almost like starting from scratch again. In my case the kids walked out on the ex once they knew what had happened. So I hope you get open access to your own children as that could be something she will use as a weapon before and after. If you suspect she's getting lawyers in then it would seem sensible to do the same, limiting the costs but protecting your interests. There are feminist coffee mornings at which designer accusations and divorce tactics are shared, so if you genuinely think it could be really bad get advice asafp.

some good advice
And here's some more....
Make sure you get a GOOD lawyer.
Mine was ten feet south of crap, and hers wiped me out.
And beware dirty tricks...hers lied in an affidavit. If I had had the presence of mind to record telephone conversations with her lawyer, said lawyer would have been in jail by now.
Mine dragged on for 12 years for unusual circumstances. I dumped my second lawyer for the last bit and represented myself. Ignorance of procedure can work wonders in Court. The judge has to listen to you, and its a great way to embarrass the opposition's lawyer as you blunder along and slip little things in that a real lawyer wouldn't dare.
Yes, ignorance is bliss.....
Don't let it get you down.....it will get better as time passes.
