A Temporary Order is a court order issued during the divorce process that establishes temporary rules and arrangements until the final divorce decree is issued.
A Temporary Order is necessary to address immediate concerns such as child custody, visitation, child support, spousal support, and property use during the divorce process.
To request a Temporary Order, you need to file a motion with the court outlining the specific issues you want addressed temporarily. The court will then schedule a hearing to consider your request.
The court considers factors such as the best interests of the child for custody and visitation matters, the financial needs of both parties for support orders, and any potential harm or disputes that may arise.
A Temporary Order typically lasts until the final divorce decree is issued, unless modified by a subsequent court order or agreement between the parties.
Yes, if circumstances change, you can petition the court to modify a Temporary Order. However, you must demonstrate a significant change in circumstances since the previous order was issued.
If one party violates a Temporary Order, the other party can request enforcement or seek remedies such as fines, sanctions, or even changes in custody or visitation rights.
While you have the right to represent yourself, it is highly recommended to consult with an experienced family law attorney. They will ensure your rights and interests are protected throughout the process.
Temporary Orders mainly focus on issues like child custody, visitation, support, and use of property during the divorce process. Property division is typically determined in the final divorce decree.
No, a Temporary Order becomes ineffective once the final divorce decree is issued. However, the provisions of the final decree may address the same issues covered in the Temporary Order.
