As we move closer to mediation and what's going to be a very large amount of wasted money, I'm questioning my strategy. I mean, I don't mind going thousands of dollars into debt if it means saving my marriage, but if I'm going to end up divorced anyway, why spend all this money? Will I really be pleased with myself for "fighting" for my marriage as I try to dig myself out of debt?
I guess I've basically got three options:
1) Should I go to mediation by myself and save the attorney fees? 2) Should I ask my attorney to draw up a proposal and send it to opposing counsel to try to avoid mediation altogether? 3) Should I just go with the flow as I've been doing?
My strategy thus far has been to do the bare minimum to be seen as cooperative. I haven't pushed things along, but I haven't done anything to slow them, either.
