Hi Cat. I haven't read your whole thread, but just wanted to say be careful with mediation with a mediator or directly talking with H. I hired a lawyer, but unfortunately did more of the agreement with H on our own and I agreed to a whole lot less than I would get legally. After I agreed to some stuff, the actual written agreement from his lawyer was missing stuff he agreed to. It's not over yet, but just want to say to you BE STRONG and don't be swayed by your H who all of a sudden ACTS like he cares about your welfare!!!
