I don’t know the technicalities in this situation but if it’s taken 6 months to agree I reckon you should get it locked in in orders. Wouldn’t they be consent orders? Which would preclude need for trial? As I said, don’t know about the legalities or technicalities but having orders is very very useful in providing certainty and stability.
You can also include a clause to review cosent orders at such and such a time.
