That's bizarre. Doesn't the court have protocols on masks at this point?
There are no protocols where I live. It doesn't matter he had no intention of showing up.

My understanding is the pre-trail conference is basically the judge unofficially signaling to each side how he'll likely rule on the issues and strongly encouraging both sides to come to an agreement. Not sure if your H and his L can delay that, but if it goes through you'll likely get much closer.
Yes this is how it works here. If the pre-trial goes his way I'll be done soon. If it doesn't I get to stay married. I can't afford to go to trial and I have a temporary support agreement that I can live with.
