I am not so sure I agree that it's 1 session for 3 hours..

I'd expect at least a consultation session to explain the process, what is needed, get acquainted with the mediator, and then setup the next session.

Remember, as you go through this, you are looking out for your interest, not your STBXW. If you do not like what is happening, or not getting your questions answered, etc, that you keep your interest in mind, and demand you time. Get up and walk out if you have to.

I would still suggest meeting with you own L to understand your rights.

As you go down this road, it's not about being a married couple anymore, and that is a tough place to wrap your mind around as you sit with a third party and across from your spouse, to try and tear down something that you both built with dreams and aspirations, and all that goes with it.
