Why won't the Friend of the Court enforce what the judge said in court, even if it's not in the written order?
The Friend of the Court's authority is limited to enforcing written court orders.

If you think a written order does not say what the judge said in court, first tell the person who prepared the order and request a change. If necessary, you can file a motion that asks the court to correct the order.
