What to do when one party won't engage in financial agreement - FDR or not?

My DP and his not-yet-ex-wife (separated over 5 years and before we got together) didn't reach mediation agreement and in nigh on 2 years worth of back and forth with solicitors since they are no further down the line with the consent order, the final order 12 month deadline has long sailed. She has yet to provide full financial disclosure nor has her solicitor provided draft D81 information to his. The wife is now wanting actuarial valuations (costs of which would be £5k and shared) of pensions but has not said she would be bound by any findings (ie revert back to CETV if that works in her favour - she has form for manipulation in so many other things). One thing that was agreed at mediation due to one of the Family Act clauses, financial settlement would be a deviation from 50/50 in his favour and he's offered 55/45. Is there anything stopping him applying via Form A for an FDR now just to force it all to court to stop the back and forth? Thanks for any views!

just issue proceedings and let the court timetable it.

Don’t you have to have attempted mediation and get MIAM certificate before applying to court as it asks this on form A??

I would definitely issue. 2 years is a long time to mess around.
