There also is a misconception that family court is a kinder court. That it doesn't resemble the criminal court we watch on television. It is not a kinder process than criminal court just because it has family in the name of the court. I have seen otherwise normal functioning children and adults develop outrageous symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorders, self-mutilation, rage and the like during the family court process only to have those exact symptoms quickly subside when the adults make a mutual decision to release their attorneys and continue the divorce process outside of court.
I know your family and friends are telling you to get a lawyer. They definitely don't know what to do to help you and so they are advising you without enough information. As well-intentioned and loving as they are, their advice for you to go to court and nail your spouse for the ways you have been wronged and to protect yourself is misguided and uninformed. Remember, they do not work with divorce every day. They have not seen countless cases of divorce. In reality, if you go to court, you will be on trial for every way your spouse feels s/he has been wronged.
When it comes to divorce, mediation is the best kept secret out there. If you still aren't convinced, this side-by-side comparison found at www.divorcewizards.com shows you what to expect. And this is not an exaggeration. For every wrong you want to have done to your spouse, it will be done to you as well in court. Court is a battle, a boxing match. It is eye for an eye until one of you is down for the count. After reading this, if you or your spouse still want an attorney, bring a collaborative lawyer with you to mediation, but stay out of court.
