Review and sign the order
Who drafts the order?
After you appear in court, the other person (or their lawyer) will prepare an order that says what the judge or associate judge decided. If there's a lawyer representing either of you, the court usually requires that the lawyer prepare the order, no matter who made the application. Ask for a chance to review and sign the order once the lawyer has written it and before it's given to the court registry.
