Hi all, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. I just told my husband a few days ago that things aren't working and I think we need to separate. He responded about how I thought he would, defensive and unwilling to take any accountability. He mentioned trying counseling but I don't have any expectations that he'll actually do anything.

Therefore, I'm wanting to go ahead and start getting some things in order. I was planning to just contact a lawyer but then heard about CDFAs and another friend mentioned just using a mediator.

Has anyone gone the route of CDFA over an attorney? We do have two minor kids, a home, he owns a business, etc. Is there any reason to use both? Any feedback or experiences would be welcome. Thanks!
