Is divorce mediation better than getting an uncontested divorce?

can anyone tell me how the whole process works? I have been researching the matter online but I would like to hear from people that have actually gone thru a divorce. My husband keeps putting off the divorce. He is the one that originally wanted the divorce but now I think I want it too. what are my options? if I wait on him to get the divorce it will never happen. I dont have a lot of money but I may have to be the one to initiate things because he keeps putting it off. What are your suggestions?

OK, first, let me express my sympathy for the end of your marriage. That is never easy no matter how much you want out.
Now, Here are the differences and what you need to know.
AN uncontested divorce is a divorce were both parties agree they want to end the marriage. The do not file grounds of abuse or adultery, they just decide to go thier seperate ways and thats that. No mediation is required UNLESS you have a considerable amount of joint property OR, if you are antagonistic (meaning you just hate each other and want to rip one another apart anytime youspeak.)
Now, if you have a large estate, or several holdings that need attending to, you may want a mediator. A mediator will help settle disputes where money is involved, but also between couples who simply can not agree on anything. A mediator will speak between your lawyer and your husband lawyer so you have no contact with your husband or his lawyer. THere is a goodly sized fee for this type of process, however, it is sometimes necassary and worth the added expense.
I recommend making nice with your lawyer and making nice with your husband. 🙂 SO as not to incur added costs and to get the marriage disolved in the least amount of time with the least amount of heartbreak.
Good luck!
