It depends on the relationship between you and your husband. If you feel that you can come to a reasonable and negotiated settlement of all issues including child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, property division, etc. then mediation is a very good way to go. If there is serious tension and conflict and you do not feel that you or your husband can be very reasonable and I do mean very reasonable then mediation can be a lesson in futility. I do mediation and have has numerous successful mediation's but I see many of them turn contested.
If I can be of any further assistance, please feel free to contact me at 516-746-4747 or [email protected].
