Legal Question in Family Law in Washington
Agreed Order
My ex and I did a child custody modification over 2 years ago. Our child is now out of control and he wants to have our child live with me, no support for either parent and our child (17) can visit between each of our homes and provide his own transportation. I am in agreement. He says that we cannot sign an agreed order without having to do a full fledged modification. Is this true? We just wanted to sign an agreed order, present it in ex-parte and then file it with the court. No attorneys involved.

Re: Agreed Order
The formality is that you need to make a motion and order to modify and then the new parenting plan (I've done them in the same day), there may be a fee in some counties (King County for some types of actions) now to use ex parte, and you may have to file the modification fee ($42 as I recall), you can check on many county clerk's websites. Worst case $72.00 and two more short documents (motion and order).
