My soon to be ex wife and I are going to meet with the mediator to iron out our divorce the end of next month. This is a non-contested divorce.
I would like to keep this topic free of advice of "Do this and Get THAT". I have worked as a case worker for 2 different state child support agencies so I know how to write a Separation Agreement/Divorce Decree and how to not get myself screwed.
What I would like to know is what people went thru with their own experiences of using a mediator. While we can no longer work as a team as husband and wife, we are doing a real good job of co-parenting our 2 girls. We have written our own separation agreement that both of us are satisfied with. I will have 50% joint custody, she will be the custodial parent, and we are going to split the kids expenses equally. None of this me cutting her a check every mth to pay her rent, cell bill , car etc. When she works FT, she makes almost $30k more then me so she can support herself. Its the kid's expenses I will pay half of.
Is the mediator going to "interviewing" us to see what what wrong in the marriage, why we are divorcing, is this really the time that the "dirt" comes out and emotions can get the best of you?
These are more of the topics I want hear about not looking for legal advise.
Thanks

after 3 days of trial the judge awarded her a mere $90,000 :loser: i spent ~ $140,000 on 2 laywers and she spent ~ $35,000 on one cheap lawyer :nonono: but it was worth it to me to have a legal defense team like O.J. as it saved me hundreds of thousands of $$$$$ :thumbsup:
