Yeah, I already know I will want an attorney with me even through mediation. I did not care for the mediator my W has chosen. She shows bias when she states "you know, you have two D's and it's important for girls to be with their M as they go through certain stages"
Look, nobody has to post how BS this comment is. I already know.
The biggest issue for me is time. Two attorneys have told me I need to act quickly or the custody arrangements in place right now will become status quo. I contacted several other mediators, none can get us in right away.
So I'm left with the choice of filing myself, or demonstrating a willingness to work together as opposed to fighting, with a mediator I do not care for going in.
I would love to be able to show my W that I want to be civil and diplomatic. If I come to the conclusion that filing and fighting is in my best interest, the gloves will come off and there will be no turning back at that point. I'm ready and willing to fight and endure more pain and suffering for the sake of my children. But I would be lying if I said that's how I want it to be.
