first, let me say i am very sorry you are about to begin divorce proceedings. i know this is a difficult time for you.

as a family law attorney with 28 years of experience, i would always recommend where one party has an attorney representing them that the other party also have counsel. this is particularly true where as you indicated you have certain thoughts on a possible settlement that the other party has not considered.

thus my answer to you would be yes you should go ahead and retain an attorney now and have your attorney contact hers and have that person represent you in negotiating any agreements necessary

whenever there are material changes in circumstance based upon relocation, employment, income etc. there would need to be a modification of the agreement to reflect those changes.

generally those are also done by using an attorney
