Now she wants mediation..again.

So, she wants to go back to mediation without the attorneys, to 'work this out'. However, her attorney just sent me an email today threatening to take this to trial and spend another 10K if I didn't reach a decision. I asked her about it, and she said ' I don't know what my attorney is saying, I haven't talk to her'. Dangerous!

Sorry..been there, tried to do that, tried to be nice.

Call her bluff...tell her that you'll only resolve this through her attorney. That way she has to incurr the legal fees. Her attorney then has to set up mediation, based upon her request. If all issues were settled previously, then she is starting fesh with the mediation - all issues are open for discussion and revision. She may get much less than she had gotten previously.

Also, she would be responsible for all attorney fees and mediation fees - including yours.

As for the attorney...remind her that it is her client who wants to revisit the mediation. Also that you will file a motion for a final judgement based on the previously agreed upon mediation, and that you wil do it with predjudice against the other party.

Also, forget being nice, it will get you nowwhere...except taken advantage of. This is war - don't forget it!

Basically, play hard ball. Do so and you'll win your position.

Hope this helps.

go to trial and seek her to pay your atty fees. What is the problem just rip her a new one and get it over with.

I do hope things work out for you HIC, I can't imagine anyone winning or gaining from a costly trial, other than the attorneys of course...
