Legal Question in Family Law in Massachusetts

My Ex pretends that there are court orders or that vacated orders are in effect. Is there a way to get something from the court to show the truth? Case in point I filed a complaint, orders were issued, but not incorporated into the judgment. She claims that the orders are still in effect (supposedly as does her lawyer) and the judge's clerk, who drew up the orders, says no they are not. How can this be settled? I don't want to go through another year of legal shenanigans and a fortune to get the answer. Can the judge issue some clarifying document or for that matter can the clerk or someone else?

You should take your papers to an attorney to have them reviewed. An attorney may be able to answer your question without having to take your issue before a judge.

Retain an attorney to review all the "orders" to advise which are and are not still in effect. Good Luck!
