Participate in Mediation

Can my New husband participate in the Mediation?

We have been living together for 5 years with my children and married for 2 years. He pays 110% for our needs and wants.

Anyone can participate in mediation as it is a voluntary process. Anyone can refuse to participate in it also however, unless court ordered, and even then, if one really doesn't want to, the mediator may have to stop the mediation, even if court ordered. You should determine if there are any contested issues, and what they are, then talk to an attorney or mediator to see how they can help you reach your specific goals.
