legal advice needed

When my wife told me that she wanted a divorce my demand was for marriage counseling. She informed me that it was over, no counseling. After that I sort of went threw a faze that I was willing to sign a bad deal as long as it was quick and not a horrible deal. No luck she wanted to take all of the good and leave me with all of the bad. After that to let her know that I was serious I hired a good (I hope) lawyer, she couldn't believe that I did. I have recently come in contact with someone that I went to school with and for that reason I would still like to work this out quickly. But, I would like to do this right, I'm not going to do anything with her until this is worked out. I'm going to stress to her that if she wants to punish me that in the long run it's only going to cost us money. That were better off just working out a deal.

The good news is that we don't have any kids so that will simplify things. Also there are only about two issues that are important to me so hopefully I'll be able to talk some sense to her.

Guys what I really need now is your prayers that I can get threw this and have one good try with the girl from my school days.
