Josh I'm nearing towards the beginning of the end phase of the whole selling the house/mediators/lawyers thing. We had these kind of snarky conversations months ago. Now I understand that their mindset is they don't want to use lawyers for whatever reasons whether it be due to financial constraints or because they're cheating. Mine is aware that I'm seeking lawyers council and consultation, because I was adamant not to proceed forward with mediation until I know my rights with regards to child custody and division of assets and home to make best informed decision on whether we should use mediation services or not.. She made it a point last night that of we use a L it will get more expensive. But of course only if it goes to trial. She has already met with a L/mediator which wants a retainer of $4000-$5000 just for mediation services. We are still price shopping for mediators. She made it another point that most L consultations are not free (This is where I kept my mouth shut because I'm paying for time with the lawyer this Wednesday.) So I can figure out how to proceed forward with house cell division of assets by out refinance and child custody. We got in an argument months ago about equally dividing our time with our child and she started throwing remarks about the law at me. I would challenge her asking her will how do you know that and she couldn't answer.
For most of you on here why do they Advocate going to Easy Peasy route without the L. Is it because of money or is it because they're hiding something and don't want to get caught? What's the general scenarios with everyone on this?
