I filed for divorce last Fall. I admitted my issues and wrong-doings (infidelity). What was supposed to be amicable and "uncontested" (as she initially agreed) turned out to be fraught with scorn and revenge, and as it turns out, some very shady financial antics by the STBX. By no means am I trying to dodge my fault in the divorce, so let's please not make this a moral discussion about my transgressions. Whatever my reasons were for seeking others, I admitted it and realized I wasn't a good husband and just wanted out...desperately.
I made multiple offers prior to mediation to avoid the added costs. We attempted mediation twice, reaching an agreement at the 2nd mediation. Although it was a relief, I'm now realizing that I'm going to be in huge financial trouble and feel more and more as though my lawyer took the easy way out and didn't help fight for me. Which is why I'm here...I feel like I have no advocate and since I've spent over $50k on legal counsel (mine & hers), I just need a sanity check on my mediation results and if I should move on or if I have a legit appeal opportunity. I'll spare the details in my initial post, but if you want details, I'll be happy to share...
Thanks in advance all...
