AboutTimmy Chou Expertise I am a experienced Mediator and a partner in a management consulting firm. As a mediator I work as a third-party neutral and specialize in partnership/shareholder disputes, management/labor issues, company culture difficulties, and family-owned business problems. I can help describe why alternative dispute resolution may be a good choice for you. As an experienced management consultant I may be able to offer creative ideas to help resolve your organizational and business problems and disputes. "If you say conflict, I say opportunity".

Answer Thank you for your question!
As I explained in a prior answer, Mediators act as neutral third parties to disputes and never "get involved" in judging the merits of conflict, but merely use special techniques to help the parties decide together how to negotiate their own settlement.
I am not a lawyer and cannot provide legal advice, nor can I address what your legal options might be, or speak to the merits of a legal strategy. I am not an expert in immigration or family law.
I can only suggest that you put your position on the table in good faith with your partner and try to plan a strategy to get out of debt and to solve your other issues together. Keep your promises and work diligently and try to build your successes into your relationship as best you can.
Recall that if you need legal advice, often the local BAR Association will refer you to a lawyer for a free consultation. Please contact them and see if they offer this service.
These are some ideas. Feel free to follow up with additional questions.
