so, have any of you ever participated in a mediation session when you had a legal dispute? and is it binding? can we change our mind real soon, and just run away? gad, we went in, and they just kept harping at us, and before we knew it, we had 'given away the farm". and we even had a lawyer with us, and it seemed like he was just so intent on getting a settlement. and to heck with 'watching our backs". you know.
we have a farm that has been in the family for 4 generations. our 100 acres. the 100 the uncle got in l946 he sold off 10 acres here, and there until a part was land locked. they never maintained anything on his final 37 acres for 60 yrs. and now the new owner wants access across our good land. and we gave it to him like an idiot. and not the easy close corner. and not 'after it was surveyed, so we know what we are talking about, 'just access across dry land' and in michigan, no telling where that will be. ever want to just shoot your self. but the lawyer 'side bared with husband about that, and not until we walked out did it dawn on us after 8 hr. and l short sandwich break and not pee break, that we were fools.
