So sorry to hear what has happened and that you are back here in this situation. I guess the only thing is that you will get some finality now and be able to rebuild your life. I felt SO much better once the divorce was finally behind me and my expectations of him "coming around" were buried.
Ellie has given you excellent advice and there is not much I could add. I, too, went with collaberative divorce. I had a unique situation and felt, under the law, I would do better with mediation. I did get what I went after but I will admit it was not easy. Still, the cost of mediation was much less than going to court. Yes - it was emotional for me but I did my best to stick to business - why waste your time - the lawyers just make more money if you let anger and emotion rule - takes longer.
Wishing you the best tommorrow and please keep us posted.
