My husband's ex attacked me a couple weeks ago and left marks on my neck. I filed assault charges and a restraing order against her. The temporary restraingg order was granted and when we went to get to permanent he sent us to mediation because their are his kids involved from thier marriage. We have an 8 month old son that she has threated and was at the scene when she attacked me and I will do anything to protect my son. I was just wondering if anyone has had to go through mediation through the courts and what do they do when you are in one. Thank you for your help!

I have been through mediation, not for this though. Basically you and her need to work out some sort of agreement to ensure she doesn't do anything to hurt you or your loved ones. You need to make sure she gets counseling for her issues and that some sort of period of time she is on some sort of probation until she can prove that she will not do what she did again!
Good Luck

It sounds like you and your husband should not have to settle if she has threatened your child and hurt you. Bottomline you are not married to her. Did you have an attorney? I may be wrong, but I believe you can show up to to the mediator and say you cannot mediate with a woman that has threatened your child. If you don't have an attorney, get one that specializes in family law in your state, get your husbands kids from their marriage away from her, make her pay the attorneys fees for putting you in this situation, and most importantly keep her away from your child.
