    Default How to Finalize a Divorce and Custody Case if Your Ex- Doesn't Cooperate or Appear

    A divorce and custody case in California has been dragging on for almost two years. Whenever something important is supposed to happen in the case, the father drags his feet, or suddenly disappears, so it's difficult to negotiate before court. He frequently claims that he can't attend court due to his work schedule, in order to get adjournments. He misses other court hearings, resulting in even more adjournments. How can the mother end the case and get a divorce?

    Default Re: How to Finalize a Divorce and Custody Case if Your Ex- Doesn't Cooperate or Appea

    It is likely that the mother's lawyer (or both lawyers, if the father is also represented) is trying to keep costs down by negotiating a settlement instead of taking the case to trial. That approach makes sense to a point, but if the mother is more concerned with getting the case over than in avoiding legal fees, the mother can instruct her lawyer to press for a trial date.
