Temporary Orders And Divorce

Before a divorce is finalized, temporary orders may be issued to address the immediate needs and concerns of the parties involved. I am available to discuss your options regarding temporary orders, to determine which, if any, are necessary.

Temporary orders can be issued for the following:

• Separating finances — Certain property such as a car or the marital home can be temporarily split. Debt can also be split through a temporary order.
• Child custody — A temporary order can address the issue of child custody, designating where a child will live while the divorce is pending. When determining temporary child custody or during the full custody hearing, the courts consider the best interests of the child.
• Spousal support — A temporary order for spousal support can be issued while the divorce is pending to provide a spouse with financial assistance.
• Child support — A temporary order for child support can be issued while the divorce is pending.

Often, temporary orders become permanent. If parties can agree on the terms of a temporary order, it is possible that those conditions can become permanent when the divorce is finalized. It is important to know, however, that divorce decrees can be modified if either party has experienced a significant change in circumstances that makes it difficult to fulfill the obligations of the order.
