Mediation as part of a D process with an L has a soundness. No one would ever suggest dropping an L in any case. There is a place for both. I would add that mediation is considered essential here in the UK in some divorce cases, Judges won't hear a case unless it has been undertaken.
It slows the process.

Yes, that is right. The problem here is that W DOES NOT want to meditate with Heavy if she has a lawyer. How crazy is that??
What option does Heavy really have here? The other one from W isn't good: drop her L and she'll meditate. w just wants to control the process and take Heavy to the cleaners. Beside this, W has threatened to take the kids away if Heavy didn't do what W wanted her to do.
So it imperative that Heavy stand firm on the L stance. This is not to say she's ruling out meditation at all. W just won't meditate if there's lawyers involved.
