Hypothetical question

Fwiw i'm dealing with a situation and need some guidance.

divorce mediation vs litigation. I've been dealing with this for about 16 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.

Am I overthinking this or is this a real legal issue worth pursuing?

Illustrative response

Just want to point out — the statute of limitations might be a factor here. In some states it's as short as 1-2 years. Don't sit on this too long.

Have you tried reaching out to your state's labor board? They sometimes have free resources or mediation services imo.
