Firstly I'm so sorry to hear your going through this, its rough I know
My ex and I decided to do mediation via Relationships Australia. I had my appointment a couple of weeks go and the ex will have his soon. Once his individual appointment has been and done we can organise a group meeting with the mediator to hash out a parenting plan and a financial settlement percentage. The mediator just basically asked a lot of questions and gave me some factual information about the process now the rest is up to my ex and I to come to a mutual aggreement. I also went and saw a lawyer prior to this step and had a free half hour appointment (alot of lawyers offer this service). She gave me some wonderful advice so if you would like further info let me know and ill PM you.
I hope your taking care of yourself an you have your support network around you!!
All the very best.
