Additional Information:

I have been separated (not legally) from my husband for over a year and half. I live in Barrington and he lives in Bristol. We are both on good terms and share custody of our 2 children.  He currently pays for daycare for our son and I’d like to ask him to help with half of the children’s medical/dental expenses.  We have no assets to split, should we look into mediation?

ATTORNEY ANSWER:

The absolute best way is to spend an hour sitting with a qualified Divorce attorney who can advise you and discuss your case. You raise issues that probably require a thorough explanation and discussion. Mediation is not always a good option, particularly because someone or both of you will have to hire attorneys after the mediation. The end result is paying three attorneys instead of two.
