Divorce Mediation vs. Lawyers
Wondering if anyone can offer advice about one vs. the other. Since my conversation with AH on Friday I'm a little anxious to get things moving and over with. It kills me that he's just willing to roll over like this and not even fight for me, but truthfully the time for that has passed.
Anyway I'm getting off topic here. AH says he want to do this as "amicably as possible and without a whole lot of lawyers and fire under the table." He also says he only wants a few things, which I believe since this isn't the first time he's run away with only the clothes on his back.
I'm not willing to try to figure the whole paperwork bureaucracy out on my own so it's either going to be I hire a lawyer and I assume he would then have to do the same or we go to a divorce mediator.
Anyone have any experience with the former? What about cost is one significantly cheaper than the other. It should be relatively easy, we have nothing, no kids and like I said he doesn't really want anything.
PS I'm in New York, if that matters
