Usually each person needs separate advice once the interests diverge. A mediator is not the same as a lawyer for both sides. Ask before you share the details of a negotiation.

A list of accounts, debts, children's schools, and any orders already signed. You do not need a perfect file. Leave out account passwords until a lawyer asks for a secure way to send them.

No. We list offices. The lawyer you hire, if you hire one, does the case.
