Legal Question in Family Law in New York
For 2 months I have been waiting on my ex wife"s laywer to submit final paperwork in order to get my final divorce judgement ( I am pro se). After inquiring about 1 week ago, i was told by the lawyer that the stipulation that we signed agreeing to the terms, custody and financial reward is no longer acceptable by her client. The case has since been place in a disposed status and her lawyer states that she is trying to find out whether she can get another calender date to re argue the terms etc ( she is trying to get judge to give an order so she can get transcripts of last appearance??). Is there any motion or paperwork that I can file to expedite matters since I feel her lawyer is stonewalling because she still has not made her way to request a calender date or submit final documents

This is where you may need to hire an attorney. It appears that you and your wife signed a Settlement Agreement and now your wife wants to change the agreement. There is a likely probability -if you so choose- for the court to enforce the agreement and move for a final order of divorce unless your wife's circumstances have dramatically changed. Again, do not do this alone, get a lawyer.
You have a problem. Your wife has a lawyer, and your wife is backing out of the deal, refusing to do what she agreed to do. You really need a lawyer to go to Court and fight for you. Since I am not based in Manhattan, you will find that I charge a LOT less money that New York attorneys. Give me a call, make an appointment to come see me, and I will go over this with you, and give you some advice.
