Hello All,
Mediation was completed regarding a child custody case in Texas. The result of the mediation was not favorable for Dad but an agreement was made at that time. In that agreement, it was clearly stated that Mom's counsel was to draft the final agreement and present it to Dad's counsel. Then, Dad's counsel had 7 days to review and file with the court. There was no deadline set for Mom's counsel to complete this action.
Almost 2 months later... Mom's counsel has not yet sent the final to Dad's counsel. Dad's counsel told Dad that after inquiring of Mom's counsel and hearing nothing back for a very long time, they thought it was better to get a resolution to your case rather than keep it stagnant.
Do you all feel that it is wise of Dad's counsel to proceed or would it be better for some, unknown reason to me (Dad) to leave it be. Of course, I realize that the lack of details in this question can certainly have an effect on the final answer but I was hoping that responses would contain some general things one might want to consider in this situation.
Thanks,
Dad
