Legal Question in Family Law in California

Divorce agreement
My ex-wife & I divorced in '05. During the sale of our house, the judge ordered that $20,000.00 be held in trust by my (now former) attorney for both parties to use later in settling any claims for reimbursement of various expenses against the other. My ex and I have agreed amongst ourselves to now just split this fund in half. However, my former attorney won�t release the funds unless there is a signed stipulated agreement and order approving from the judge. Neither my ex nor I want to incur an attorney�s cost in doing what seems to be simple(?). We�ve agreed on the language of our agreement, I just don�t know what form (FL-form#?) to use, and how do I get the judge to approve it? Can I just go to the judge�s courtroom and ask the clerk?
