I will be attending mediation very soon. My questions are the following.

  1. If we decide to settle everything what do I do as an individual without representation in regards to the court.
  2. If we leave a few issues open, I am certain of court. I will not have representation to assist, so are there forms I need to bring with me to court?
  3. In regards to the above, I am sure the issue is alimony. What would be a good rule of thumb as far as what I need to show that I can not provide?
