If I go to a mediation hearing with my spouse and her lawyer and she challenges details put forward by me and my lawyer could she thereby extend the waiting period and put off the final court date indefinitely? The final hearing date before a judge has been set. The waiting period of three months has already dragged out to over a year. Also, can I decline the mediation process? ( I'm thinking it could be a ruse to extend the waiting period and maintain the status quo. She has things really good as I am supporting her at a very generous and expensive, level. )
