Hi, this is my first post here, this forum is so helpful. I'm currently in the process of divorcing my ex and sorting out a few other things.
My ex hasn't participated in any of legal process, which has left all the costs and frustration on my shoulders. In the summer I filed for divorce, consent to travel with our daughter without his permission (he is in and out of her life and has substance abuse issues), formalizing supervised access, and also noting his child support arrears - he didn't respond, so in September we filed everything including affidavit evidence and requesting an uncontested trial.
This week he sent me an email telling me he is still trying to organize a mediator and that it's clearly in my best interest to do this otherwise he will have to contest everything I have asked for. I think it's an empty threat, and I don't think he understands that the court system is moving on without him but I obviously want to avoid creating more stress/challenges for myself.
1. if someone misses the window to respond, is it safe now, or he could he actually decide to become involved in the legal process again?
2. If you had an uncontested trial, how long did it take to get a date? Did they rule on affidavit evidence, or did you have a trial with a judge? Did the decision get made right away?
Thanks for any advice, my lawyer can be so vague and it would great to hear from people who actually used this method. Thank you for any help.
