Did you check with a lawyer that you dont have to file a response? Did her D petition have language that talked about a default judgement? I just dont want to see you run into problems due to some technical thing. It sounds good that your W is starting to change for the better! Keep up the good work.
In my case, we told the mediator that W had not filed a response within 30 days and we were concerned that some default judgement might come from the county. The mediator said that she would send a letter to both L's to stand down and that since we were trying to mediate a settlement that the court wont care that there was a pending petition requiring a response. Since the mediator meeting, it appears that my W wants to have a lot of time to think about whether a D is the right way to go. I think right now that my M has a very good chance of surviving with some hard work ahead for both of us.
