It’s just not a foregone conclusion that the judge will rubber stamp the report. Plus he has good lawyers - it’s fairly certain all the prep work for the trial is done. I guess it depends what Ioan wants and what he’s willing to give up. He’s sunk so much money into this at this point I can’t see him going screw it. I’ll save some money on not having a trial and just give Alice what she wants.
Not saying it's a foregone conclusion but I think it would take a brave judge to ignore the recommendations of a triple board certified expert who has spent months doing in depth research and presented her findings. It's highly persuasive guidance to the court on making a decision.
People who are well advised (and who actually listen to legal advice) would make decisions about whether to settle or go to trial depending on stuff like this (and other factors too but this is the main 'independent' input. If the report isn't favourable to Ioan, yes he could say
duck it I'll take my chances that the judge will ignore the report.
I don't think his advisors would be recommending that though, they would be suggesting agreeing a settlement along the lines of the report.
But this is all hypothetical because it's highly unlikely the report is going to be favourable to Alice and Alice won't settle unless she gets 100pc custody.

That’s not the real person. Definitely a tattler based on their likes. But yes, using his ex failed business partner’s name. Spotted it earlier. That’s how you sock properly though, and I’d die laughing if it was Rachel.
Probably the Texan cosplaying a tattler. They have to pretend to be victimized by tattlers/Bianca remember. It doesn't happen so they make people up.
