[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My lawyer advises against the continuance.  Her reasons?  We risk the court resetting all the deadlines in the order- which prejudices us as we have already met deadlines and filed everything, so she has our exhibits and would be able to file things she missed before.

I caught W hiding assets.  Continuance might allow her to move them.

I am happy to settle out of court, but W needs to come to the table. She doesn't like an equitable distribution of assets, where she would receive about $1.7 million and I would receive $1.3 million.  She keeps the marital residence.  I keep a jointly owned marital property.  We each hold our retirements.  So, no, not a SAHM being left high and dry.  Adultery and other factors mitigate against her. I feel I am being fair and generous, and can easily see a judge approving this.  W wants more than a 60/40 split, where she gets half of my retirement and keeps hers, as well as half equity in the marital residence and half equity in the investment property—not going to wash.  I told my D that I am protecting everyone's interests.

Why didn't she hire an attorney?  What would she file that would harm you?  How much would it cost you in legal fees to agree to a continuance?

You aren't "protecting everyone's interests," you are protecting your interests, which is fine, but don't lie to your daughter, as it's not a foundation for a good relationship in the future.   Nothing about the timing of your divorce proceedings protects your daughter's interests, and it sounds like proceeding without a continuance harms your wife's interests, or at least she indeed perceives that it does.
