You are allowed to negotiate for yourself. The lawyer should talk with you, but they cannot give you any kind of legal advice and they represent your husband only. They likely will not say a great deal to you, though I would say they should certainly hear you out. We are not advised on this page to tell people "you need a lawyer," but if your husband has one and you don't trust what's going on w husband, a lawyer can do things for you it's hard for a litigant to do for themself.
