I'm in the process of divorcing my wife.
We've been separated for 2 years and during that time she has shown no interest in agreeing any future arrangements regarding custody or finances - she has just buried her head in the sand. I suspect the reluctance on her part is due to the fact that during the marriage she was financially dependent on me. She refuses to work and we have recently disentangled ourselves financially.
I've arranged mediation and made offers related to both custody and finances. She is only interested in progressing things if the offer is completely in her favour (75% of equity and she decides when I see the children). She refuses to seek legal advice as she says she can't afford it so she has no idea if her demands and expectations are reasonable.
I believe now the only way to progress things is through the family court.
What potential is there for her to delay things at the court stage? For example, I would expect her to fail to return the Form E.
Does the family court have something in place to prevent people endlessly delaying things?
