Temporary Order Hearings Attorneys
A divorce is quite distinct from other major legal events such as purchase or sale of real estate or dissolution of a business. This may be the case because of the human nature involved in marriage relationships. Emotions, changing family dynamics and changing financial pictures all contribute to the need for temporary orders, including:
• Temporary spousal support orders
• Temporary child support orders
• Temporary child custody orders
Discuss Your Need For Representation In Temporary Order Hearings
Depending on the details of your marriage (length of marriage, size of marital estate, with or without children), you may be more or less likely to need temporary orders. However, you should not be surprised if it becomes necessary to go through various temporary order hearings throughout the divorce process.
A temporary order can help ensure that you retain access to joint bank accounts or specify how household expenses will be paid for during a divorce. A temporary order can clarify where children will live and who will support them financially until a divorce decree is finalized. Temporary orders can also be used to restrain a spouse's bad behavior such as harassment.
Although the document does not have the power to stop a person's harmful actions, it has legal teeth that can provide some level of protection. Keep in mind that temporary orders can always be modified. They are easier to modify than orders contained in final divorce decrees. In spite of the challenges involved in the divorce process, temporary orders can serve very useful purposes.
