Legal Question in Family Law in California
after court hearing
After court hearing in which estranged parent requested visitation, I was awarded sole and legal physical custody, on the terms that estranged parent would take steps to establish relationship with our child. I recently received a letter from estranged parents attorney requesting that I sign a findings and order after hearing document. What is this and is this normal? I thought that since judge ordered everything in hearing, that this was an order.

Re: after court hearing
The order after hearing in the written form of the order made by the court. You should read the order. If the order accurately states the court order then you should sign it and return it to the attorney to be signed by the court and filed. If the order does not accurately state the courts order then write a letter to the attorney explaining what you object to about the proposed order. If he does not agree to change to order, then you should write a letter to the court explaining your objection. Send the letter to the court and a copy to the attorney. The judge will then determine whether or not to sign the order as proposed by the attorney.
