How do I withdraw from an agreement that the judge as not yet signed?
I want to stop and withdraw from an agreed order concerning child visitation/child support that I did not legally understand. The judge has not signed off on it yet.

You should write a letter indicating that you no longer intend to be bound or to agree to the original terms. You should indicate that the original terms are not or no longer considered by you to be in the children's best interest. Although it is difficult to set aside an agreement, any agreement regarding children must be in the children's best interest. Additionally, courts are not bound by the parents' agreement when it comes to issues about children because the courts have a superseding interest in protecting the children of their own state.
You should speak with an experienced attorney who is familiar with these areas of law.
Good luck.
