Can you tell me how to word a contract?
Full Question:
I had a consultation with a lawyer she told me by law she could get me half of my husband's pension and half of whatever amount our home is appraised at. I want her to put this in writing in a contract. Could you tell me how it should read?

Answer:
We cannot give legal advice. The following is not a substitute for the advice of a local attorney. But we hope the information will be useful.
The option most favorable to you would be to enter into a "contingency agreement" with your lawyer. This means that the lawyer is not paid until and unless she recovers money for you. She receives a percentage of what she recovers for you. Ask her about a contingency agreement. This is typical in the legal profession and she will have a form, and review it with you. Make sure you understand the details, and ask her to give you some examples of how the contract would play out. If you are unsure about anything, ask questions until you understand. If you feel uncomfortable, go to another lawyer.
