My ex and I have been separated 10 years now, in this ten years we remained friends and never settled anything. Last week she decided to hire a new lawyer and i was sent a request for available days for a settlement conference.
I spoke to my ex and asked her to try mediation before we actually go into the battle field.
My question is what I should expect in mediation. How effective is it?
I have been paying child support over the last ten years. Spousal support was mentioned 8 years ago or so but never enforced, and as mentioned we remained good friends. We dated on and off through-out these ten years but never actually lived together. We had a home which was 50 owned with my parents. Her name was never on title since the home was purchased many years before we were married.
I have spoken to several lawyers and asked about the actual evaluation date. Got many different answers.
I’m hoping we can come up with a figure and put this all behind us, but who knows what her lawyer will ask for.
Should I consult with a lawyer about mediation, what should I prepare?
