Long story.
Been in the system for almost 12 months and had child inclusive conference a few weeks ago. Both parents want to settle. They have decided to put their differences aside for the sake of their kids. Family court is on Wednesday.
The mother has a legal aid funded lawyer who wants it to continue for another 6 months. They basically offered the father a trial of unsupervised time (history of drugs and history of domestic violence with the mother).
Family consultant had no real issues and said that both parents agreed to shared parenting. The father wants it settled and done next week, as does the mother but her lawyer won't listen and is advising her against it because the judge will think she's a liar.
Both parties also don't want their medical/psych documents subpoenaed as they feel very upset about private and unrelated issues being put on the table.
Any help?
The father suggested meeting at court early on Wednesday to come up with consent orders to give the judge when they are called in.
What's the best course of action to have it done and finished on Wednesday?
