Paid the retainer today. Whew. I feel like a big weight has been lifted just by doing THAT. I can't imagine how much better I'll feel when it's all officially OVER. 
We now have someone to refer to with questions, and legally representing us.
I asked him about the "summons--but not really a summons" that came in the mail, and he said it could be a warning of something on the horizon. He said when we do actually get served to give him a call and he would file and answer to the lawsuit (which is covered in his fee).
He spent an hour and a half going over the forms we have to fill out explaining what to do. He said don't stress yourself out over filling these out. If there is something that you are really stuck on, to call and they'd help, OR just put a question mark by it and we'd go over it at the next appt.
He seems to think even though we're just over the median (he said about $900-$1000 over), we'd be fine for a Ch7, and that's how we'll proceed.
It feels good to make this first step.
