We entered into a stipulation on child support issues last month. All the things we agreed were put on record. My lawyer made a stupid mistake and let the other party give the judge a proposed order that did not reflect our stipulation at all. The judge already signed the order.  How can I remedy to this?  My lousy lawyer sent a letter to the judge admitting her mistake and saying that the order he just signed does not reflect our agreement. The other party does not want to stipulate to an amendment because they got what they wanted....  How do I handle?

Any thoughts?   Any insight?    please help me.

Heres the problem,

The judge doesnt sign it until both parties or attrnys for have signed it.

The exception to this doesnt pertain to agreed orders.


In essence, your attrny screwed you. It is likely that you will have to go to court, prove that what was signed, didnt reflect the agreement,, THEN both attrnys in the case need a lashing from the judge. Yours for being a bonehead, the opposing attrny for trying to change the agreement.

I would certainly push your attrny to do the work gratis,, its her screw up.
