Legal Question in Family Law in New Jersey

My son's father and I are splitting up and worked out most of the arrangements between us. (Visitation, holidays etc) I would like a lawyer to review before we file in court to make sure they we did not miss anything. Can a lawyer represent both sides in a mediation? We are trying to make this as easy and cost effective as possible. Neither of us has alot of money to spend on lawyers.

Can a lawyer represent both sides and mediate? Yes, but I do not think that is smart. I can explain why. I often represent one side and the other side does NOT have a lawyer because it is too expensive. I can explain how I handle this, to get the people divorced with as little attorney's fees as possible. I am good at it, too!
