You can certainly read about mediation on the internet. They are many websites regarding mediation.
You can ask to be put in separate rooms if you don't want to be in the same room with him. Talk to the mediator's office ahead of time & let them know your request.
The mediator will attempt to settle the case. But the final decision is yours. You have the right to not settle and to go to the judge. Hopefully you have an attorney representing you. If not, I would urge you to hire one immediately. Look around and find one that you can afford.
Look on this website & on www.avvo.com for an attorney.
