Here in Illinois it would be the circuit court. Then it could go to the appeals court, up to the supreme court.
If a judge gives an order, you can appeal it. You should have been at the hearing if there was one. If there wasn't, maybe the district judge thought there was an error in the way the judge of the circuit court handled things. I would think that there should be an opinion issued and that should say something as to what is going on.
You might ask the district judges secretary or court clerk to explain what is going on, or maybe you can meet with the judge. That is about all you can do without an attorney. You can appeal up to the next level.

In legal matters, it is never helpful to listen to the opinions of "some people", whoever they are.

If your ex took a matter to court and there was a judgement against you, you would have been notified of that by the court. You should have gone to hear the case, then you would have known what was going on. Go along to the court now, and ask to have the matter explained to you.

You can't just assume that one court is "right" and another court is "not right". They are both legal courts and they are both right. Making decisions that one is better than the other, or deciding that one judge didn't have the right to do what he did, is a great way to get yourself into trouble.

Your attorney should be able to clarify the matter.
