The story I linked to in the OP says this as the last paragraph:
"Meisenheimer's staff have given the attorneys involved in the civil case potential dates - up to three months out - to reschedule the hearing."
It would be highly unusual--not to mention unprofessional--for a judge to give preferential treatment to one party in a divorce case. The court simply gives out dates they are available, and the parties confer to figure out which of those work for them. If one party wants to say, "Only the last date is good for us," then the other party will take it if it works for them. I think that is what happened here. Terri's attorneys took the maximum time they could to figure out their strategy.
