My ex has request our case conference scheduled for later this month be adjourned since she is expecting a baby on that same date. Interestingly enough, she filed the original divorce application, but did not seem to have had a problem with the established case conference date. I would have expected her to take this into consideration before she served me the application. This is consistent with her shifting dates as will.
Now that I have made several plans to honor this date, she is requesting the conference be adjourned till July. There are several issues we are simply not agreeing upon, such as parenting, child access and custody which I wanted to bring up at the conference. I also wanted to request the divorce, which we both agree on, be severed from the settlement and establish a way forward to close this whole thing.
I simply do not want this date postponed as it is kicking the can down the road. There is also no guarantee she will not come up with a new reason, such as her baby is sick, to further push the decision down stream I also understand that her lawyer can represent on her behalf.
Thoughts or I am mis-understanding this entire process? My lawyer thinks I need to consent otherwise I will lose and have to pay her cost, since I mentioned this as some delay tactic. But I am almost willing to take the chance.
Thoughts?
