Understandable to be tired. Tired of everything. I hear ya. But you aren't doing great. Part of your tiredness is lack of sugar.
Just checking in on ya, girlie. I had consulted with 2 barricudas prior to H telling me he wanted to mediate, and it didn't feel right. I might regret it down the road though. I constantly wonder just how far I can trust H these days, you know?
He filed for divorce and moved out 2 weeks after he said he wanted to live his own life in Feb. He has a lawyer is actively pursuing divorce. There was no talk of mediation.
They say mediation causes the least animosity and is better for the family. He went straight for a divorce lawyer.
If mediation doesn't work, you can always go the lawyer route. Do you have a lawyer in the wings to review the settlement? That's usually recommended especially when you feel uneasy.
I felt odd hiring a barricuda, I feel very comfortable with the mediator. But yes, I do have an attorney to review the settlement, just in case. And its nothing the atty/mediator is doing to make me uncomfortable. Its H, being so very nice. I just want it all in writing and will be much more at peace when that happens.
Hello beautiful. What happens to the retainer you gave current L if you decide to switch to a new one?
When you get a divorce, is it a MUST to go with lawyer OR mediation? Is there no other way? I'll be seeing a couple lawyers this week (or next) and just want to get this over with as quickly, painlessly and inexpensively as possible.
