Q: What does it mean when the other parties lawyer is asking me the below.
My Son’s father has filed a motion for leave of court to amend his petition for modification and enforcement of the parenting plan and for other relief. His lawyer emailed me “Do you agree to submitting an Agreed Order on the motion to amend the petition. Which must be determined before a hearing can be scheduled on the Amended Petition. Please note that if you agree, after the court enters the Agreed Order, the Amended Petition will be heard based on the dates the court gives as available dates and the parties availability.”
This has to do with my son’s father trying to change the parenting plan and have our son live with him and see me every other weekend.
A: It looks like, for some reason, the petition has to be amended before the parenting plan can be modified. If you don't understand, ask the lawyer?
A: It means whether you agree for them to amend their petition. If you sign, the Agreed Order is his way of telling the court that you agree, and the court should allow them to amend the petitioner.
