Legal Question in Family Law in California

Final Judgment

I am the petitioner&began representing myself after spending all my money I missed the continued 2nd day of my trial due to a mistake and final judgment was to be prepared, but wasn't, by his attorney. He fired the attorney and got a new one for my set aside attempt. She said she would prepare the judgment. When I was given a copy to sign, many things were not accurate. Some were changed others were not. I refuse to sign as it stands. Can I write my own Judgment for the Court?

Re: Final Judgment

You should obtain a reporters transcript of the judgment that the court made on the 2nd day of trial when you were not present. With the information in the transcript you would be in a much better position to object to the order as prepared by opposing counsel. A review of the transcript and other documents with an attorney may provide other possible options.
