I'm contesting an annulment/divorce petition filed by wife on ground of my impotency, and later she added mental cruelty as additional ground. When I filed application for my potency test, the judge odered mediation saying my application for potency test will be considered later.
During mediation she offered to withdraw all allegations if I agree for mutual consent divorce (MCD).
a) What if she withdraws consent after the 1st hearing of MCD? Can I reopen the current petition and move on from present status ie. evidence stage?
b) Can she refuse to open the current petition and file a fresh petition for divorce on new/altered issues ie. avoiding impotency allegation?
If I go for MCD, I want to make sure that I can reopen her current divorce petition and move on from present status, in case, she withdraws consent during MCD. I doubt, its her trick, agreeing for MCD to get closed the current petition, then withdraw consent and file fresh divorce petition on new grounds or at least avoiding impotency allegation.
Please let me know what precautions should I take.
