My question involves a child custody case from the State of: Indiana
My ex is moving 50 minutes away and wants to take 1 of our 2 boys with her. Our judge ordered mediation and assigned a mediator. When I called the mediator to discuss what dates I would be available, I was told by her assistant that she would not be mediating this case because my ex wanted it heard within 7 days and the mediator did not have the time. So I called the court and they told me a new mediator had not been assigned yet and that I would receive notice when a new one had been assigned.
However in the days following this, I receieved 2 voice mails from my ex's lawyers asking for me to call them so we can discuss a mediation date. Am I obligated to return those calls? I do not like dealing with her attorneys directly as they have proven not to be trusted. And since there is not a new mediator assigned, I'm not sure I do need to deal with them directly?
Any insight to this issue woiuld be appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
