Hi Back in the home state... ready for our 2nd round of mediation today. My lawyer suggested giving him one more chance- since the child support/custody piece he wrote up was very much favorable to me in many ways beyond which I had asked for and that StBX had indicated he agreed to. At this point the StBX is fine with the wording of it.
As for today, I would like to see:
"both parties interests and issues with the financial component of the divorce settlement are heard and discussed with respect, understanding, caring, and fairness"
after that then see what progress is made on the property settlement and alimony agreements.
Karen: thanks for sharing your insight & experience. I decided to give this guy one more shot as if we switch to someone now, then I'm probably stuck signing a temporary line of credit for the StBX's business for the new year. Something I'd like to avoid... If not then, so be it.... at least for a bit.
Goldey: Thanks for the thoughts, prayers, hugs & offer of help. I'll let you know what I decide after today and may taek you up on your mediator reference if possible.
Peace to all, Hugs to those who want them Bridge
