I am in a blended family, and my wife did it the litigation way, while my ex- and I mediated. I have a high-coo peration co-parenting relationship with my ex, whereas my wife has had nothing but trouble with hers.

Although you're technically right, co-habiting partners may obtain rights of spousal support and property division that are similar to California marriage, in what is known as a "Marvin action." (Marvin v. Marvin, 18 Cal.3d at 681). Marvin actions rely on expressed and implied contract (a court can imply a contract from the parties' conduct).

At a time when you need to work most as a couple to ensure you don't lose all your assets to the lawyers, you're probably least likely to come to compromises. Angry spouses will run their own finances into the ground rather than come to a fair agreement with an ex.
