Am I unreasonable to set a deadline for return of the financial disclosure forms to the mediator?

My stbxh has not bothered to send back the financial disclosure forms or documents to the mediator. This was requested on the 7th July with a 14 day deadline set by the mediator. I sent mine back, over 79 pages of documentation. From the approximate information he sent before we began mediation he has one bank account, one credit card, some shares and two pensions. Surely this is manageable? AIBU to send a letter saying that if the documents and forms aren't received by next Tuesday (8 weeks after they we requested), that I will ask for a MIAM and go down the court route instead?

Why hasn’t the mediator chased it. They gave the two week deadline, how can they think 8 weeks later and still no sign is acceptable?

They did chase it after 14 days, and again a week ago.

i don’t really see what difference a letter will make. Can you check with the mediator whether this constitutes refusal to participate so that you can now take him to court? If so maybe message him giving telling him that an log with the court immediately

Now that's an option I hadn't considered. I think I will try that now, thank you! 🙏

I think the whole process has just become so stressful I'm not thinking clearly. I should have been prepared for this to happen as he has form for making me wait on him. (he wanted a year's separation to decide if he wanted to work on our marriage 🤦🏽)

I'm such a fool.
