I stand to be corrected but I think that if he actually is consulting counsel he should have the views/recommendations of his counsel within a very short time because (from what you say) this seems to be a pretty straightforward case.
If you go to Court now, without waiting until he has his counsel's report I suspect you might be accused of jumping the gun. However, if the advice you have had is to wait a few weeks I would interpret that as meaning about 6 to 8 weeks. That is just a personal opinion & you need to take on board whatever advice your solicitor gives you.
