@DQ -- didn't go to a lawyer because we'd agreed up front to mediate and the only real bone of contention -- setting aside our moral positions on divorcing and whatnot -- is the support thing. There's no controversy over child support and custody and etc. It's just alimony.
And we both believed we could struggle through that and reach some agreement. I think what's going to happen now is that we'll draw up agreements on everything we agree on and just let the L's handle the Benjamins -- so we'll medi-liti-gate. Which was something the Mojo Family Law Guy said yesterday (a) isn't uncommon and (b) is pretty efficient -- you wind up like a half-hour in court because the judge accepts all the pre-existing agreements and just renders a verdict on the sticking point.
@Coach -- you're right. The odd thing is that in the other window we're actually having a productive dialog right now, though not about the $$.
