Legal Question in Family Law in California

I am in pro per, disabled and have DV restraining order against my husband. His attorney drew up a stipulated qualified domestic relations order that I signed, but the judge has not signed it yet. What do I do to stop it from the judge signing it or stop it from it being filed as an order, since there was an additional paragraph added that I wasn't aware of at the time.

First you should speak to the attorney who drafted the order, and tell him what your objection is to the order. As well you should write a letter to the Court referencing the order and making your objection to entry of the order. All this may not be successful. If the Order is entered, you would have to file a motion within 6 months under CCP 473 seeking to set aside the order.

Of course you should try to hire an attorney to assist you.
