No. Meeting with an attorney will have no impact on any future divorce action. You need to meet with a family law attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights. Good luck.

I generally think it's a good idea to talk to an attorney about the issues and get an understanding of what you may be entitled to by law. As for how you choose to proceed which is your decision, not an attorney's, then that ultimately impacts the outcome. Many attorneys can help you settle issues and find a way to compromise in order to avoid trial as well.

It is difficult for me to see how your obtaining advice from experienced family law counsel could negatively impact you in a dissolution matter, in fact, such action would be in your best interest.

I cannot think of any possible way that seeing an attorney to determine your rights could possibly have a negative outcome. While he is determining whether he wants to continue to be in your relationship, you should be determining whether YOU want to be in the relationship. Speaking with an attorney may well help you make that determination.
