Just had a very unproductive mediation session in which most of the time was spent with ex venting his anger about me getting tax credits, him supposedly not seeing enough of the children and raking up old ground over the reason for the split. Mediator basically said she doesn't feel she can get us any further but made it clear to ex that he will probably lose out financially and may well be disappointed when it comes to access. She asked us which one wanted to file for divorce - I said I would but then he jumped in and said he would. So he's got papers from mediation to file for divorce.
So, just wondering how much this will matter. He will obviously come up with some crap about my supposedly unreasonable behaviour which I will have to accept for divorce to go through. Will any of this matter when it comes to making arrangements for the children or financial matters. He is trying to make out that he has been "sidelined" when it comes to the children (when in actual fact he couldn't be bothered with them!) and also claimed he's been "pushed out".
Wondering if I should have been more forceful about being the one to file for divorce.
