Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

In a divorce case about a year ago we had a hearing set after we didn't agree on everything at mediation. I thought this 'hearing' was supposed to be another time to submit evidence, argue etc. however the other partys lawyer had sent me final judgment emails, to which I always replied with an answer and changes everytime. This went on for a couple weeks before the actual 'hearing' and again the whole reason we were there, is because we did not agree on one last thing. As we were in front of the judge, I had evidence with me, but their lawyer just had this final judgement already typed up so the judge just disregarded everything I had to say and signed the ppwrk. I know some people will say, this is why you should have a lawyer and I agree, however we are once again in court and I can not afford a lawyer which is why I have come to this web site. So my question is this: we have went to mediation once again and did not agree- how am I to stop their lawyer from once again just submitting something to the judge (same said judge) and them signing it. The judge told me as I was expressing my objections to them last time, to "just modify it" as they waived us out of the room. Unfortunatly this is a feat I found out was not as simple as they had made it seem; and futhermore seems to me, completely unecessary as we are standing in front of the judge to resolve the issues at hand.
