You must abide by the judge's ruling. Unless the judge said (and this would never happen), 'party A gets custody, but if no attorneys fees are paid and no written order is signed, then party B gets custody.' Again, I know that didn't happen.

A parents agreement is irrelevant. It depends on what the judge ruled. If there was a transcript, that will serve as the order.
