A lot of people have told me to talk to a L, though H& I are still living together and he is currently unemployed. What does this talk do, exactly--give you a sense of what you're entitled to, what is realistic, etc? I know nothing about this.

Also, is mediation an alternative to using a lawyer, or something people do in addition to seeing one?
