Long Distance Issues.....Possible WAW

[LRT Land]

DC - if both parties want to move forward, mediation can be good because then you are deciding the terms instead of the judge. If you can't agree, it gets expensive because then you still have to fight it out with lawyers in front of a judge. I agree with puppy that you would want a lawyer to look over anything you sign. In some states, a lawyer that represents you in mediation can't represent you in a divorce. Ask about that.

Also, keep in mind that even when a D is filed, your lawyer should be able to make it go faster or slower - as you wish.
