Thank you for the suggestion!.

I came up with an alternative solution. To not even tell him in our apartment where he COULD explode and potentially become violent. I could arrange a dinner out somewhere and present him with divorce papers in public after we've eaten. That way, he cannot explode in front of other people, and I am surrounded and protected by other people.

IF I opt to have a friend present in the apartment with us, it will likely humiliate him to no end, and my fear is that he will then retaliate and won't cooperate with any type of mediation agreement. Then it becomes a contested divorce and nastier not to mention more expensive.
