During counselling/mediation in contested case (no objections filed/hearing done yet)
Can anyone other than the couple and counsellor be present - lawyers/family members?
Is it mandatory to have these "other members"?
Can I place a request for an exclusive discussion wihtout these "'other members"? - what is the way it will be seen legally, my intentions are honest - but i dont want to be misinterpreted AGAIN and giving opp. party upper hand when I am being honest - am new to all this, and dont want to be taken for a ride, had enough till now already!
Reason I ask for this requirement is we have an unbiased and unpresurrised environment for the entire disucssion and keep all legal aspects out and talk as two humans who started together with intentions of staying together for a lifetime - let the counselling reveal the true intentions of what each side wants and why we are in this situation - this is the last chance for a healthy discussion.
Thanks.
