Worse yet, what if she gives you the boot even without any legal ground but the "contract" isn't clear enough and left "open for interpretation" by a judge?
A good lawyer should help prevent the worst-case scenarios from happening and cover your tail if they do occur.

That's exactly what I want to avoid and why I will be calling around tomorrow.
Thanks for all the advice everyone!
