Ask a Lawyer: Plea of hardshipPosted by: Dads Divorce on Nov 29, 1999   |

Question:
My wife of 34 years does not want the divorce, as a last ditch attempt she is claiming hardship after we have waited 8 months with mediation. I am willing to give her anything, but the judge at the mediation said it was one sided and she, my wife, needed to give more to the settlement, that I had to be able to live also.
Answer:
I am not licensed in Washington. I suggest you also consult an attorney in your state. I am unfamiliar with the process of a judge presiding over mediation. Did the judge make a final ruling? Generally, mediation will only settle at case if both parties agree. If mediation is unsuccessful then a hearing must be set. At the hearing the judge will make the final determination. Since no question was posed, I am assuming you want guidance on finalizing your divorce. My suggestion is setting the matter for final hearing.
