Thought I was over this

[C-Bart]

So I'd like to ask a question or at least get some feedback from you folks. I have a pending court date of Nov 18th. I want to push this back for two reasons; one I don't want to be in court during the holidays and two I'm trying to delay to get to the next retro date in Feb.

We made it through our first mediation session and W wants to go back. However, there really is nothing else to discuss and W has not mentioned it in two weeks.

My approach is this;

Text W with "We need to talk about the D, let me know when you have 5-10 minutes"

During conversation say the following: "I am going to file a motion to delay the D by 150 days so I don't have to deal with this during the holiday." I will address the retro topic later.

Thoughts comments?
