Q: How do I get a temporary handwritten order from a custody hearing finalized into the correct typed legal document?
We had court on August 23rd. my (now former) legal representation has been absent since the court date and hasn’t filed the paperwork. There were orders to move child support up from the 6% the NCP currently pays to guideline limits. The opposing council was ordered on this date to supply income information for the NCP within 7 days, which would have been by the 31 of August. They HAVE NOT done this. The NCP hasn’t shown up to pick up his daughter as the orders states for the last 3 weeks now. We were ordered to see an amicus attorney, who is supposed to be advocating in the best interest of my child. I’ve gone to two meeting with this attorney, which have turned in mediations with the father. The only thing that’s come out of this is the amicus att and the father trying to negotiate lower child support and deviate from the already agreed SPO in place. Can I do anything pro se to bring this to closure?
A: You will need to hire another lawyer to finish your case.
