Advantages To Filing
My wife has told me that she wants a divorce and has spoken to an attorney already. Is there any advantage/disadvantage for me to file first?

It depends on the particulars of your case. What county are you in?

Re: Advantages To Filing
Filing first can be an advantage if there are other matters you are concerned about, like your spouse emptying the bank account or borrowing against the home equity line, or removing the children from the marital home. Every case is fact driven, and there is no "one-size-fits-all". Do you think your spouse will file soon?
