Generally the order is not void, you can set a hearing for entry of order to get the order entered. P.S.

What kind of order has the judge NOT signed? I have been waiting 5 months for an order to be signed by the judge (visitation)and the custody orders!!! I thought that when a judge ruled it would be no longer than 30 to have the orders. Do you have the timeline that a judge has to put it in writing once they rule? This is insane to wait this long Thank You ---

You can set a hearing for entry of order if you have been waiting for the judge to make a decision. That may prompt them to issue a ruling, however you run the risk of upsetting the judge. You may also want to send a follow up letter to the judge inquiring about the status of the order. I know it is little consolation but attorney’s face the same frustrations sometimes. P.S.

If an order or a judgment has not been reduced to writing and not signed by a judge, pursuant to the timeline of signing and reducing an order or judgment to writing, can I motion to have the order or the judgment void?
