I think that divorce mediation is a great option if you are able to continue trying to put the needs of your kids first. Many people consult with their own attorney during the mediation process so they can have lists and a sense of their legal rights (and what a court might do) while they negotiate with their spouse, guided by the mediator. Consider hiring an attorney to consult with during the process. That person can also review your agreement once mediation is complete and help you finalize your divorce. Good luck!
