She is not entitled to alimony. Has she served you with divorce papers? If not, why mediation so soon. I suggest you file if she has not and then set a mediation date - because the judge will not hear the case until you do. It is good that you have her on your insurance - do not change anything until the divorce. If you are in theJacksonville area, call my office for an appointment.
