Legal Question in Family Law in California

Court hearing and order

During the hearing, I was asked some questions that It appears to be like more on mediation. It appears that the judge let the oppenent keep on stating their declaration and without asking our side if we agree or not. Some questions that I want to disagree and I raise my hand but was told to ask if my lawyer would allow me, My lawyer said, let them talk, hence I did not raise any arguments. Her comes the transcript, it appers that all the declaration of the opponent were taken into account. How can I file a motion to change the order of the court.

Also the court ordered my husband 20% child custody, but let him have Wed to Frid, from 5:30 to 8:30 Pm. every 1st, 3rd and 4th of the week and one evening per week. How did they arrived this allocation of days. How to change it. We still have to go to mediation and hearing will be on Nov.

The opposing atty. drafted the order of hearing, and stipulated something that is not with in the transcript, saying that it was confer after the hearing, but we never had, and never did. But my lawyer sign that stipulation and declaration, without letting me know, if I agreed or not. How can I inform my lawyer that the paper he signed was not even discuss.

Re: Court hearing and order

Why do you want to change the visitation schedule? It's not unreasonable. If there's no good reason to change the schedule, then it will appear that you are trying to interfere with the father's right to visitation and you might end up losing custody.

If your attorney signed something to which you didn't agree and you didn't sign, you will need to file a motion to set it aside.
