Very sorry to hear it's coming to a D, but if you are in the right frame of mind and feel this is the best choice for you moving forward then do it.

It's not unusual. I think it's because they don't want to close the door on Plan B, and they know that after D the LBS is likely to move on.

Curious to know what others have done in this stage.
After S and during the D proceedings I did try to keep things cordial and upbeat with W. She came in at the last moment and added a bunch of money into the settlement (that she wanted me to pay her) and when I (very politely) asked her to explain where it was coming from she got irate and said we'd let the lawyers fight it out in court. I was trying to finalize a business decision that I did not want to make until after D so that it wouldn't get tied up in the D, plus I was getting anxiety just thinking about a prolonged court battle. So I ended up agreeing to it and the D was little more than a 15 minute long formality in a court. Walking out of their divorced felt surreal to be honest. But I did feel like a great weight had been lifted too, it was a relief. Not sure if that really answers your question though.
