My daughter has a trial before court date in a couple of weeks.
Her "new" lawyer lied and told her the judge had ordered her to mediation (there is no such order, not signed and not on file).
She only has enough money for the actual trial itself and not the additional $5,000 for a full day of mediation.
If there's no signed order, I don't want her to agree to mediation.
Questions:
1. If, at the trial, the judge actually DOES order mediation, can't her lawyer plea Financial Hardship as a reason why my daughter can't goto mediation?
2. If the judge doesn't accept Financial Hardship, can't her lawyer demand that all mediation costs be paid by her to-be-Ex ??
3. Is there any other acceptable way for her or her lawyer to get out of going to mediation ??
Thanks for your help.
