I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Have you already started the divorce proceedings?
Yes, my lawyer is asking for an extension because the chemo will make it difficult for me to function during a trial.
Lexi, Chatbot
Do you currently have a will in place, or will this be your first time creating one?
First time.
Lexi, Chatbot
Is there anything else the Family Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they'll be able to help with your will.
I can’t think of anything else.
