Re: order and findings after hearing
Send a copy to the court with a letter. Explain that the other party has received a copy of the proposed order, and has not objected to it. That the party has refused to approve the order. This letter should also state when the order was given to the other party for approval. Ask the court to sign the order without the agreement of the other party. Send a copy of this letter and the order to the other party. A statement in your letter that a copy of the letter was sent to the other party should be a sufficient proof of service. The court cannot receive information unless it has been provided to the other party.
