I've wondered about mediation...when the time comes, I really don't want to engage a real bulldog-type attorney (don't want the expense or the adversarial sitch...), but H is so used to being able to roll over me that i'm not sure how i would do with just a mediator. How does that work in MO?

Have you looked at something called Collaborative Divorce? I've been looking at that here in MN. It's supposed to be cheaper than an atty or a mediator. It's also supposed to be better for the kids. If you and your H are in a position where neither really wants a fight, it's a good option. It's almost like a group of people.....an attorney for both sides, financial planners, counselors....etc. They all get involved to the point that you needed them to be. The attorneys of course are totally involved. I don't know if I agree with the term....."friendly divorce", but that's what they kind of bill it as. I know none of us want to think of divorce, but it might be an option. Just an idea of something to look.
