Pre-trial is in 2 days and the judge will tell us how she'd rule if this were an actual trial.
Since I did all my divorce through mediation, I don't really know much about this - but this sounds like the pre-trial is an opportunity to reach a settlement short of actually going to trial by hearing what a court would likely say at a trial? So, for instance, if the pre-trial says you would probably get X and Y, and you've already made an offer to H that you'll settle for just X, he'd be a fool not to take that offer and instead go to trial and risk having to give you X AND Y, right?
