as you may know my stbx and i went to court on monday . it was decided by family relations that the next step is to be mediation . the date will be within the next 30 days. how long did it take for any of you to get notice of a date for mdiation? I almost wish it was right away, like tomorrow , just so i we can move right along with this mess. and secondly, how was mediation? the attorney will not be in there with me. she says they 'll be great and not to worry i'll be fine even tho there are control issues with stbx. what was your experience with it ? he has already tried to badmouth me in front of family relations guy . stbx shot himself in the foot by attempting to do it there cause the fr guy told him right out that he was not looking for concerns about me as a person. ugghhhhh i wish it were over. any feedback.

I live in Michigan. When I went to mediation I was under impession it was to divide assets. My ex wanted 100% and would not budge. (She is 24/7 alcoholic and not rational in the least). From there it is automatic trial and judge decides how to divide. We wasted a lot of time and money on mediation for nothing.

that is what i heard-if you both don't agree on everything then you still end up in court-mediation is just a waste of time if both of you don't agree on the terms of your divorce-then the judge has to decide for you-don't worry and stick to uor guns-if you don't like anything go to court

I haven't been yet, but like you I am nervous about going -I hate confrontation is the biggest problem, I do well with going through my lawyer or rather a lot better than I expected but when it comes face to face that will be hard - he will probably end up with everything. I have no idea when we will go -we are still settling on "temporarily stuff" but I just want it all over with. Let us know how everything goes and I wish the best to you!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
