Dear HST302:
Greetings. If the order was never entered, then it is not valid. For an order to be valid it needs a judge’s signature and to be clocked in at the clerk of court’s office (among a couple of other requirements). A verbal agreement on custody and child support is not enforceable.
I don’t know what type of action you have (although I can assume it is child custody and support) nor do I know what you mean by “permanent agreements could not be started at this time.” Sorry.
