What he is saying is incorrect. His lawyer cannot represent both sides or mediate between the two of you. It is a conflict of interest the law doesn't allow. His lawyer will only represent him. For mediation, you need a qualified, 3rd party, mediation person. In my state, they are licensed as such.
