DH filed for CS decrease in October. BM's attorney has already filed for 2 discoveries, a month apart each. BM countered for decrease in visitation and 2 unfounded contempts. Judge ordered mediation.

Mediation date set for June. BM changed her mind saying she has a work conflict. She is a therapist. Her conflict is a seminar apparently that she booked this far ahead.

Is this enough to warrent this case to be stretched out even more???

Thanks

I would object to any postponment, because the date was already agreed to. In the alternative, I would ask the court to waive mediation entirely, because the parties are too far apart for meaningful voluntary negotiation to take place.

You can also mention that the longer this action is left open, the more your interests are prejudiced, because the court will likely not give retroactive downward application to your motion to modify CS, whereas it will likely give upward retroactive application should the other party prevail on limiting parenting time.
