If the mother's barrister writes up the final draft order and there are added things to what was agreed which you didn't agree to or even discuss can you change it before it gets sealed?
 
You need to write to them and say that is not was agreed and you don't agree the wording, and set out which wording you want changed. They may just ignore you and send it to court anyway. If that happens, and you then receive a sealed order that isn't right, you'd need to email the court and object. Send a copy of the email you sent to the other side re corrections, and state what is incorrect and ask for changes under the slip rule. Ask for your email to be forwarded to the Judge.

What have they added?
 
It's anticipating the mother changing a deadline for overnights to later date. Which wasn't agreed. How long you have to object or in her case negotiate a change before her legal team send it to the court to be sealed? What if they show the draft order the day before it has to be sent to the courts? Going out my head.

This exact thing happened to me. Everything was agreed in court, wording and proposal etc then when we left the court, the ex barrister changed things on the draft without my consent.

I would ask for the wording to be agreed in court and the draft order to be sent to you for approval and then sent to the judge - all of this whilst in court, do not let them leave with it unfinished.

A final draft order should be sent to me regardless right? If it isn't I'm on grounds to appeal or what else can I do? What did you do when it happened to you?
