Legal Question in Family Law in Maryland
How do I cancel a divorce mediation? I recently found out that my ex-husband committed a felony of bigamy, I do not feel safe attending the meeting while investigators are still undergoing a search for other possible crimes.

If mediation was mandatory in your case, you will have to file a motion with the judge. For that matter, if he was already married when he married you, the marriage is invalid in any event, but there still may be property or child issues to be resolved. Bigamy is not a crime of violence as I assume you realize, and you would be in an office environment with the mediator and possibly other staff. If your "husband" has threatened you in any way, you can apply to the court for a protection order.
