My ex and I signed a final order for custody and visitation on consent. Support went to trial, and my pleadings were dismissed. Next thing I know, there is a new final order covering support - and visitation has been changed. How did visitation get changed when there was already a final order covering that? Is this grounds for an appeal? The new final order does refer to a previous agreement, but that's all.
Here's the tricky bit - my ex's lawyer completed the consent Final order, but I never got a copy showing that a judge signed it. It's possible that it was never submitted...so never official... If the judge did not consider the previous final order on visitation because it was never official, there isn't really an error in law, but some rather unethical behaviour on the part of the lawyer. Suggestions?
