Legal Question in Family Law in California
We went to Court (Hearing on 17 July 2014) and the Judge made a "Court Order" with a previous "Agreement". Since I represented myself, the Respondent's Attorney was to write up the "Court Order". What do I do if this Attorney leaves out pertinent stuff? How do I "appeal" or take it back to get it as "Ordered"?

The other attorney must give you a copy of the draft order for you review. You must approve it as to form and content. If you think it's incorrect, let the other attorney know in writing to make the corrections. If there's a dispute. You both send the orders that you think a right to the court. Please meet with an experienced family law attorney to explore your legal options.
Rule 5.125 of the California Rules of Court provides for the procedure. You can read the rule at the link here: http://www.courts.ca.gov/cms/rules/index.cfm?title=five&linkid=rule5_125
