I understand a Judge does not have the legal authority to make an order at a case or trial management conference . Now can a judge change an existing order because it is already one ???. If me or she is not in agreement to sighn for a judge to endorse then we go back into case conferences again and the judge would have to wait for trial until having the power to make a decision and cast an order regardless of either parties preferences. ???

Very sad that the Judge is well informed about my fin. situation. I am sorry to tell but this order in interest of opposing side.

I will prepare all docs but will not retain a lawyer because I had bad experience with them and I do not have funds to pay them. Moreover the Family Law Rules allow me be self represented.

P.S. That Judge is very clever. Do not forget he was a lawyer too. During 2 TMCs he starts from opposing party and do not allow me to tell what I want to tell. It is a game. Otherwise my words are going be in transcript. He just covers his ...
