Get the order
At the end of the hearing, the judge might give a decision right away or might delay giving the decision until a later date.
If the judge doesn't make their decision that day:
- the clerk will give you a date to come back to court and hear the decision, or
- the registry will contact you later to give you a date to come and hear the decision, or
- the judge will write their decision and mail it to you and the other parent.
If you or the other person has a lawyer, one of the lawyers will prepare the order. If neither of you has a lawyer, the registry clerk will prepare the order.
The order is effective as soon as the judge makes it, unless they specify a different date.
You've completed all the steps to apply to enforce a court order or agreement. Good work, and good luck in court.

That was a lot of work. Whatever you're feeling right now is normal and okay.
