I expect this will never go to court, however mediation is a distinct possibility. I just hope she is willing to settle. Given the "pre-nup" she is the one who will be writing me a check.

There is no leverage as to the initiating party. In divorce cases, the bottom line is someone has to initiate the process. In my opinion, the parties should be Husband and Wife. A lot of people feel low to be the Respondent; however, think of it in a brighter light, she had to pay the attorney to get the ball rolling. Just focus on the issues and try to keep it business oriented. I know that seems difficult right now as divorce is a highly emotional process. Look out for your interests, get a lawyer and conduct your own research. Knowledge is key. When it comes to mediation, be cool. Do not let her or the mediator push your buttons. Mediators are trained to do that to help them determine parents tolerance or if you do have have children, it will help to determine insight into a persons self control. No need to get defensive, just stay firm to your beliefs and be the good guy. There is nothing more glorifying than the other party looking like a jerk.

Here the person who files has the option of which judge may review the case. It may not make much difference, but who knows? I let my ex file because he was the one who ended up paying all the filing fees. Saved me about $130. In all honesty, it should not make a difference at all so relax.
