About what? Are you concerned that you won't have representation at the pre-trial conf? If so, try to find an attorney who can be there.

You stated "uncontested at first". What made it become contested? Under what basis did she ask for attorney fees?

Of course she is!! Wifey has obviously joined the "Pampered By the Court Divorced Wife's Club" since bringing the divorce action!!

She makes more money, wants attorney fees and alimony!! Her motive in doing so is just simply that she MIGHT get away with it because she has a uterus!!

bobby, since she is playing games with you and she makes more, you need to file a response or amended response and ask her to pay your legal fees and ask for alimony from her. she may just suddenly become cooperative ;)
