she has no L and he SAYS he has no L....but she has nothing to gain in mediation since her h wants to give her less than required by law AND besides
her L, if she gets one AND IF they divorce, will likely recommend mediation for the issues they CAN resolve (custody or visitation/holidays).
Here, she knows he's not wanting to be fair, an OW exists probably pressuring him
and she has NO lawyer watching out for her. Does everyone get that all I'm suggesting is she consult a L??
(And that the formula for figuring it out here, in uncomplicated cases, is fairly straightforward. HER H is the one saying the "L's will take from our children" whereas HE wants to take from them...imo.)
I also believe that financial reality can be very UNromantic for OW's and sometimes, now and then,
if the LBSer is super upbeat and warmly makes the WAS think things CAN be better, that can make it too costly to divorce.
