KC, you might ask your L what the purpose of the court date is. Sounds like it's not the final hearing, or that you don't think so anyway. The way it happened for XW and me was we came to an agreement, it was filed with the court, a date was set, we both appeared, the judge asked us if we were both in agreement with the terms and wanted the D, we said yes and he granted it. Afterwards there was some paperwork filing to be done. XW's lawyer was there and was very helpful in navigating where to go, where to wait, where to file, who to talk to, etc. My L was not present because we had already hammered out the agreement and signed it.
