BM has been dragging her feet on scheduling court-ordered mediation until AFTER the court scheduling meeting tomorrow. She has stated that she refused to mediate before that date .. we have no idea why. There is no hearing; it's literally a meeting to schedule a court date with the judge.

Court has ordered two 2-hour mediation sessions to be completed prior to February 10. She has refused to answer any calls or requests for availability prior to Jan 22; and has called to cancel the one session that was scheduled for last week; claiming she was not available. They got the court order on Dec 5. DH just wants to get the mediation underway and done so that they can move forward. Him and his attorney both see no reason to delay or drag feet. There is added frustration because she refuses to discuss ANYTHING with him (schedules, holidays, etc) until after mediation is complete.

The mediation sessions are now scheduled for Jan 23 and Jan 30.

But as luck would have it, there's a very large snow storm rolling in today. The courts have already closed for today and we haven't had a flurry yet, and if the storm goes as planned, they will hopefully close tomorrow as well; delaying the court scheduling meeting for at least another week (it took 45 days to get the first one on the docket) .. which happens to be AFTER mediation occurs.

Just makes me giggle a little that her grand scheme to delay mediation has backfired }:)
