Judge sets trial for Wood divorce; custody of 17-year-old remains sole contested issue
Summary
After a prior order was set aside, the court scheduled trial in Steven M. Wood v. Heather Michelle Wood for Nov. 24 and advised the parties to finish discovery and mediation before the clerk assigns a date in November.
The court set trial in the divorce case Steven M. Wood v. Heather Michelle Wood for Nov. 24, with custody of a 17-year-old identified as the only remaining contested issue.
An attorney on the record described this as “a motion to set this case for trial,” noting the parties had previously been before Judge Yonner and that the final decree was set aside. The court noted discovery remained outstanding; one attorney said, “I sent discovery at that date. I have not received the responses,” and that responses were received from Mister McNabb only the day before.
The judge, who had earlier set aside the final decree, said he had no docket until November and told the parties they "will have plenty of time to complete everything like that. If you wanna get with the clerk after you've completed discovery and your mediation is complete, then she can assign a date in November." The court later confirmed the trial date as Nov. 24.
The court did not resolve custody at today's docket call; it set the case for trial and advised counsel to finish outstanding discovery and mediation before the clerk assigns a specific November date if necessary.
Less-critical details: the transcript identifies the case number as CV 17941 and references prior proceedings before Judge Yonner; counsel discussion focused on discovery timing and readiness for trial.
