OP here again. We have a super complicated financial situation going on full mess - self employed, pre nup, SN kids and more. We don’t want to waste money on lawyers, but it’s not super straightforward [/quote] Try collaborative divorce. It's more in depth than mediation but not as expensive as litigation. That's the route I wanted to go because we have complex finances. Ex refused to entertain the idea at all so now we're litigating. Not my choice but I have to go along with it. And maybe try a new lawyer - your lawyer should be able to clearly explain the process to you. If he can't explain mediation clearly he's not the right lawyer.[/quote]

What’s the difference between collaborative divorce and mediation with lawyers?  It is just minus the mediator?  This sounds like a good option for a complicated situation.

I had a good call with my lawyer today. I think he’s generally more used to hysterical or emotional spouses not someone who wants an excel spreadsheet mapping out all possible outcomes and a checklist of 400 to-do items. He was able to give me a lot of helpful instructions today, but a lot is still up in the air with us waiting for my partner to initiate things [/quote]

Collaborative divorce is much more expensive. [/quote]
