[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Try mediation if possible. And use it as leverage because the best deal if he could would be through mediation. And also both you will walk away with more money. I used a divorce lawyer for a contested divorce and my savings went from $95k to 5k and my wives from 95k to 13k. And we both came out worse off….[/quote]

True, but I spent $50k trying to reach a settlement plus $20k on failed mediation and still had to litigate ($100k). If you have a truly unreasonable spouse, it might be better to go straight to litigation.[/quote]

What do people do if they don't have that kind of money?[/quote]

They are mentally and physically destroyed. [/quote]

Divorces as expensive as you want it to be unless one partner is a complete unreasonable jerk. I divorce from an attorney cost me less than $5000 because I was willing to negotiate and yes I did take a little bit less than 50-50 but it was way better than having a expensive legal battle that would make my life 100 times worse after the fact and I wasn’t going to do that.
