§ 924. Attendance at conference. If the petitioner's spouse does not

attend a conference to which he or she has been invited after the filing

of a petition under section nine hundred twenty-one, the petitioner may

apply to the court for an order directing the petitioner's spouse to

attend a conciliation conference. The court may enter an order

directing the petitioner's spouse to appear in court on not less than

serve the purposes of this article to require attendance at a

conference, may direct the petitioner's spouse to attend a conference.
