1st time round she refused to mediate then I left it too long so had to mediate again to get the c100 signed . In that session it was just about money and was a waste of time hence I started proceedings .
Whatβs the process for getting a consent order ? Or we can get something drawn up by the mediator and turn that into and order no ?
Yes you could, if at any time during the proceedings you reach agreement, you can ask the judge to make a consent order... sometimes this can happen at the first hearing. Itβs usual for the court adviser/cafcass to try and generate agreement, prior to going into court.
Itβs far better than just withdrawing from proceedings... youβve come this far, it would be a pity to drop it, only to have to start all over again!
Put it to her that if you both reached agreement, court would be a formality, to get the agreement drafted into a consent order and nothing to be worried about. It gives you both some grounds to move forward.
Indeed thatβs exactly whatβs been discussed .. hopefully we both get want we want , heck of a lot less stress and save some coins too . Hereβs hoping π
Best of luck with it then citydad and donβt forget to let us know how you get on.
Thanks I shall π
Seems my hopes of doing it via consent have been dashed as I was expecting the ex to add / disagree with my list over the weekend but has not
