I currently have the opportunity to attend mediation which, with my limited knowledge, I believe would be preferable than things going to court.

The original assessment meeting was scheduled for yesterday but I cancelled due to simply not having time to get all the financial records together in the short time they gave me.

I have now decided that I would actually prefer to put the mediation off until January as it would be costly for me to close my business to attend in the run up to Christmas. My business really slows down in January.

However, my wife has said she is not willing to wait until January and threatened court action.

I am now deliberating whether to call her bluff and stick to my desire to attend in January or whether I should go out of my way to attend before to take advantage of the opportunity of mediation rather that court proceedings.
