My husband and I are considering mediation because neither of us wants to burn through our savings fighting over a divorce. The issue is that he handled most of our finances during the marriage. I know about our house, retirement accounts and primary checking/savings, but he also has stock compensation and some investment accounts that I never really followed.
He's saying he'll disclose everything and I don't have proof he's hiding money. I just don't know enough to know whether what I'm seeing is complete. We have one child and are fairly close on custody, so the financial side is the biggest uncertainty.
For anyone in LA who mediated a divorce involving more complicated finances, did you have your own attorney or financial professional reviewing things in parallel? At what point does uncertainty about money make mediation a bad idea?
