So the last time I posted anything, my ex was wanting us to see a counsellor together, to the point that she used giving her consent back for our daughter to see her psychologist again as leverage on convincing me to do so.

She never did give the consent, and as I was/am severely uninterested in seeing a counsellor with her, that never happened either. It would appear however that her desire for somebody to tell her she is in the right is so strong that she hired a lawyer back in December to take me to court and get "Therapeutic Intervention with Both Parents (post-separation/divorce counselling); or an order directing these parties to engage with a parenting coordinator.
The lawyer apparently served me some time in December, by email, which must have been blocked by the spam filter, as I never found out about it until the day of court, in February, when the duty counsel contacted me a half hour prior to see if I needed any assistance. I of course requested an adjournment as I was blind sided by this, and it was granted, with the next date happening on the 10th of March.
During the Docket Court prior to getting the adjournment, the judge did read the description my ex and her lawyer had down as the issues, which boils down to her saying that we are experiencing difficulties relating to communication, and that apparently for a lengthy period of time I insisted all communication be between her, and my current wife. That's an outright falsehood as I'm not insane and want my ex-wife and current wife to have to deal with each other as little as possible... The judge made note before granting the adjournment that Our Family Wizard would be suitable for us, or that since we each make more than 70k a year we could do mediation.
Aside from just getting the therapeutic value of writing down the ridiculous events I'm going through, I'm wondering if anyone has been through something similar or seen it before?
It seems pretty silly to me that one could think that forcing somebody through the courts to see a counsellor with you will be productive, or accomplish much, other than to pad the bank accounts of a lawyer and possibly a parenting coordinator or mediator. I've spoken to the lawyer on the phone and via email and have informed them I would be more than willing to switch all communications to OFW. He however insists that there are 'significant communication issues' that OFW would not resolve. Other than her arbitrary decisions in regards to our daughter seeing her psychologist however, he is unable to provide any further details than that vague statement. I honestly feel as though he is stringing her along for billable hours.
I've no issue with answering questions on the situation or satisfying peoples curiosity on it as it helps me to straighten everything up in my mind prior to court, and possibly dredge up something I may be overlooking or have forgotten about.
