A new Dayan/Arbitrator for the Ex

We have been trying to contact "religious ex's" Dayan/Arbitrator for the past two weeks to confirm that he is coming to town for the Bais Din Session. We were also hoping that he could confirm that she is showing up.

Today, my Dayan/Arbitrator receives a call from an individual representing her Dayan. He explains that he can no longer commit his time to this matter after he agreed to do so in Febrary of this year.

Instead, he has asked another Rav to serve in his place.

I've seen this one before.

Last November, under the threat of contempt of court, "religious ex" named a Rav to be her Dayan. We can call him Dayan 1.

Three months of no answers from this Rav, we received a letter "firing" him and appointing Dayan 2. Now Dayan 2 has appointed Dayan 3.

This Rav is supposed to show up next week for the Bais Din. My Dayan is supposed to receive a confirmation call from Dayan 3 tomorrow.

I have had hope so many times over the past 4 years that this will be over. I am assuming that Dayan 3 won't call and won't show up.

It's a lot easier to feel negative than to hope and be let down.
