Legal Question in Family Law in Utah

I have filed a Petition to Modify Child Support in the State of Utah. The Court requires Mediation before a hearing. I am working pro se. My ex-husband's attorney is stonewalling on the mediation, setting a tentative date nearly 3 months out. In the meantime, I continue to receive a lesser amount of child support than what should be ordered given current circumstances. What do I need to file in order to Motion the Court to compel his attorney to mediate at an earlier date? This has already been going on for 8 months.

You can file a motion to compel, however by the time the court hears the motion chances are that it will take 6 weeks or more, and by then the mediation date will be reasonable. Your best bet is to talk to the attorney to see if his schedule and the mediators schedule will accommodate an earlier date. You may want to select a different mediator who has an earlier date.
