If there is not too much animosity already and there sounds as though there is not, I think a mediator could be good for you. Even if you can't agree on everything, at least there is less for litigation.

I have seen 3 different types of mediators. 1 decides what type of settlement should be reached and then try and guide the parties to that. 2 those that try and work the parties to a settlement by keeping them negotiating (my favorites). and 3 those that just don't really care and throw the towel in very quick. Ask around about them before you pick one.
