Quick and easy my stepson is 16 and has lived with his Dad all of his life...Mom moved out when 2 sporadic visits if that...currently hasn't seen him since Easter 07 neway....in order for Dad to receive child support had to file for custody....sent to parent mediator with Mother of child...in oct of 07 parenting consultant stated if mother didn't stop cancelling home visit appointment in 2 weeks she would just write her report.....Dad has been calling consultant since oct to see if report written consultant has not returned ANY of his voicemails....just received notice on june 4th that if nothing done in regards to filing 30 days after date on notice filing will be dismissed........Is he able to bypass mediator and just write letter to judge explaining consultant not answering messages?  I called Court Administration and they said they have had numerous reports concerning mediator.....best part she is the only mediator for the entire county.

check your state statues and perhaps local practices and CONSIDER 'a motion for default judgement' based on abandmont, non response to previous motions, etc etc etc.

KISS this.  You would be hepling the judge clear his docket.
