FWIW, both my L and H's L have indicated to us that "the court" wants this ( our D) off their calendars. Apparently some judges are particular about having cases that last more than a year. If your L is ready to go to court and H's isn't, than I think the court can (and does) bring pressure.
And on that happy note Hoppy Easter!
