Hi, I hope someone can help me understand this.
My ex had me in court this month to change the way he sees our dd (5). We couldn't reach an agreement at the time and agreed to attend mediation and a course for sep.parents. It was also listed for a review hearing for 2 months time, which I assumed was to see if progress was made in mediation. However....I've now received a letter from the court detailing the outcome of the directions hearing, being referred to mediation etc, and it all looks pretty standard, except that it says it has been listed for a 'final hearing'?. I am confused. If ex and I do not make progress in mediation, what will happen at the final hearing? I thought the review hearing would allow us to feed back what has gone on and then list it for a final hearing if necessary?
I am worried that mediation between ex and I will not work and I'll be forced into accepting something at the final hearing. Any ideas why it's now no longer a review hearing and is a final one instead?
Thanks for any help.
