Legal Question in Family Law in Washington

No restraint in final order

What can I do to voice my families rights? Does a post verbal order out weigh the final order? How could a contempt be brought if there is not written order? What am I legally bound to?

Re: No restraint in final order

I am not sure what rights you are concerned about, and I am not able to tell what kind of order was issued or what the nature of the verbal order was, and why it was not reduced to a written order. In general until an order is reduced to writing and signed by the judge/commissioner and filed with the clerk, it is not effective for enforcement purposes.
