Legal Question in Family Law in Michigan

Prolonging finalization of divorce

My husband and I are in volved in divorce. We have 2 children, custody has been settled. Joint legal and physical. He filed in Dec of 2004, our first pro-confesso was supposed to be july 11. Changed to Aug by his atty because it conflicted w/ her schedule. Changed again to September and now again to Oct. I don't have an atty and I just want this over with. Can I stop them from rescheduling unless it's absolutely necessary? My husband didn't want the divorce I did. Right now I think he's just dragging this out to be mean.

Re: Prolonging finalization of divorce

This is why it is usually wise to have an attorney. It appears that your husband's attorney is getting dates changed with the court at will. If you had an attorney, the court would require a stipulation to adjourn dates. Technically, the court should require your agreement to adjourn dates (stipulation), but apparently the court is not concerned with the desires of a "pro per" (self represented) plaintiff.
