Legal Question in Family Law in California

Attorney went against my wishes
My attorney recently ''negotiated a deal'' that included a stipulation that I specifically told him I did not want.
Now the order has been drawn up and the stipulation is in the order (This has to do with family law and visitation). The judge was verbally presented with the attorney's agreement and they were in turn to draw up the order. Reminder; the attorney's agreement, NOT mine!
My questions;
1. Do I have to sign the order since I do not agree with the stipulation and it was never ordered by the judge?
2. What do I do about my attorney? If I knew he was going to agree with everything my ex wanted, I would have just signed the papers to begin with. He also gets very irritated when I talk to him and rushed me thru our last appointment (''You need to hurry and tell me what you want, I have court in 15 minutes!'') and thru this last court apperance. I feel he did not represent me the way I wanted him to and just bargained his way to a settlement, which was no different than the initial request.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: Attorney went against my wishes

You don't have to sign anything.

You can request a hearing.

If you're attorney is not listening to you, find another attorney right away.

If you'd like my assistance with this matter, call.
