What is the name of your state? TN, today we got our copy of the proposed visitation order in today. It's proposed because the ex didn't bother to show up in court because she thought it was going to be passed (not our fault her lawyer is stupid) but since she wasn't there we got the judge to order temporary parenting time for my DH, The order is proposed under Rule 5.03 of the Local Rules for Civil Practice: the rule states this:
(a) Unless waived by the COurt, no proposed order may be lodged with the Clerk until it has been submitted to all other parties or their counsel and they have refused to approve it or they have failed to respond within a reasonable period of time. For the purposes of this Rule eight (8) days after mailing shall be a reasonable period of time. Orders lodged under this rule shall bear the word "PROPOSED" at the top of the Order.
(b) Adverse parties having legitimate objections to the proposed order shall file objections to the proposed order setting out a specific objection within five (5) business days after lodging of the proposed order.
(c) Nine (9) business days after the lodging of the proposed order under this rule, the Clerk shall deliver to the Judge all proposed orders with exceptions or objections for action.
Now with all of that in mind, I am a little unclear as to how long until it's given to the judge to sign. Is it 9 business days or is it 22 days (adding all numbers of days together) or is it 17 days????? I appreciate everyone's help.
