imo, for someone who is admittedly mainly going to law school for idiosyncratic personal reasons as much as he is for any actual financial payoff, OP is being very clear-eyed and reasonable and there's a weird amount of condescension in this thread
the advice OP is seeking is how to minimize cost having decided to attend, not whether or not to attend. do you think you're providing valuable or novel advice, or raising something he hadn't thought of, by telling him it's risky to go to law school at his age?
for what it's worth, OP, i'd agree with the folks saying to get that LSAT score as high as you possibly can by the beginning of the next admissions cycle. (on that note I'd hypothesize that OP's inability to study full-time for it previously was less "half-assing it" and more "working full-time with three minor sons" but idk)
