i am going to see a solicitor in the next week or so to let them know i want to get a divorce as things just haven't worked out in counselling at all. i don't know what way to approach this. do you think it would be much more stressful doing everything the legal route, or trying to sort it all out in mediation? or via solicitors letters - is that an option? i don't fancy everything going to court. when we separated neither of us had any money and we rented the house, so thats all sorted - its just the stuff in the house will need divided, and i don't think there will be much problem with doing that.
i guess im a bit worried about sorting child contact out and wether it would be better to think what would be best with a solicitor, go to mediation to try to get to an agreement amicably, and then if we are arguing too much, try solicitors letters, and then i guess last resort is a contact order. i have no experience and limited knowledge so if anyone can give me their experience/ tips i would be so grateful. at the minute he takes toddler one night a week, sometimes he changes this due to work. he doesn't take her during any holidays or help out when she is sick.
