If you don't want attnys then why are you even THINKING about filing for divorce? You lost me there.
W: I have reached my limit on mediation and the amount of time that has passed. Attached please find my final offer for the settlement. If it is not to your liking I will proceed with legal counsel.
She is either going to freak out and run to the first attny she can find and chances are, like my H did, leave out all the facts concerning his affair. Or, she will bend and you get the settlement you want.
Worse case she gets a good attny. Well, then you get a good one too!
I mean, with all due respect how much longer are you going to frig around w/mediation and wondering what will go wrong and how awful a divorce will be. Yes, it is horrible. BIG FAT SUCK but it won't suck less the more you try and play nice.
