Matt, step back for a second.

"Good, I really want to speed things up".
She knows because her lawyer talks to her and has an idea why your lawyer hasn't sent anything over. BUT. When it comes to negotiations, that's exactly what you want her to feel like.

If she wants to hurry, she'll need to meet your terms. Not what you've said in the past, but your terms. She can burn a bunch of money on a lawyer or get money from you via stocks, house, etc. It's a trade off. (be wary of dealing with irrational people here) Re-think what you are willing to give up and what you are willing to dig in and fight for.

You can't stop her from doing what she is doing. You can't. You can wish her well and go live your life. But you can do things now that will keep you from looking back and thinking you should have done this, or should have done that...

She's desperate to get it over with? Why do you need to be in a hurry if you aren't getting what you (reasonably) want from the ordeal?

My $0.01 worth.
