Q: Objecting to entry of orders? Orders to be signed by judge are slightly different than the ones opposing Council sent me
The opposing party was ordered to draft the temporary custody orders after our hearing. They sent me a copy to sign and said I had 10 days to respond with changes or they would send to court for entry "as is." I responded and told them I intended to respond with my changes/objections within the 10 days. I miscalculated and missed the 10 day deadline so they sent the orders to the courts with a motion for the judge to sign, but the order they sent the judge is not the same order they sent me. They also have the wrong day our temporary hearing was held on the orders for the court to sign. Is there such a thing as "objection to entry of orders" or should it be "objection to proposed orders"? How about the fact that opposing Council changed some of the wording in the proposed orders they sent me?
A:
You should go ahead and file with the Court your objections to entry of the court orders that Opposing Counsel submitted ASAP, even if it's outside the 10-day window. You should write out each objection that you have to the Judge signing the Order as presented. You should file that with the Court and send a copy to Opposing Counsel.
You can then contact the court's Coordinator and ask them to provide you with a date for a hearing on your objections.
Hopefully this answer didn't come too late. Good luck!
