[quote=Anonymous]File immediately with the court.  It will take over a year to go from filing to get to court.  Collaborative will not work with a hostile spouse.  Definitely do not sign anything agreeing to forgo a court case if you work on mediating.

Collaborative divorce can be a good process with two civil spouses.  It is more often a disaster for the women involved when the male has the money and the power.  I have been down that road.

My ex expected to walk all over me.  The thing he failed to realize is that since he had all the money, income, and power -- I really had nothing to lose by going to court.  He was offering me a paltry settlement.  In Maryland, custody will be split 50/50 barring some sort of true abuse or dangerous criminal activity.  He fully expected me to capitulate and take what he offered.  I stood firm (for the first time in 24 years).  I ended up with what I think is a very fair settlement and a great custody arrangement.

Don't let him bully you right now.  You deserve better.[/quote]
