Q: I filed an objection to a magistrate decision will that put everything on hold or can my child’s father still take her
And I was told I need to file more wondering what else I need to do
A: Generally speaking, objections will be considered by the judge in that court. Your objections should lay out why you believe the magistrate's decision was incorrect. The judge will then review those objections to see if the magistrate's decision should be reversed or modified. In some courts they will set a hearing, in others they will simply make a ruling on your objections.

A: My colleague, Attorney Rochotte is correct. I write only to add that you need to file a motion to stay the magistrate's decision. Merly filing the objection does not pause the underlying decision.
