Hypothetical question

Quick background on my situation — any input appreciated.

divorce mediation vs litigation. I've been dealing with this for about 9 months now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already done some research online but the other party is not cooperating.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Illustrative response

I've dealt with this before.

Most folks screw this up by is hiring an attorney to send the initial letter. I'd recommend being patient with the process instead.

Illustrative response

If you can swing it, a consultation is probably your best next move here.

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.
