Yes, either you or your attorney can petition the court to set a final hearing date.

Then the court will set the final hearing date.

If he wants to come up with a settlement agreement and avoid a final hearing, then he will have to do that.

Otherwise, the court will grant the dissolution at the hearing and outline the terms of the decree -- who pays what, who owns what, who gets the kids, etc.
