Preliminary Injunction

Gillespie, Shields & Associates

A preliminary injunction is a court order that is requested in the initial stages of a divorce petition or a lawsuit.  Once an injunction is obtained, parties must refrain from doing a certain act.  All things must remain status quo until a ruling is made in the family courts.  For example, spouses may be going through a divorce and have disagreements related to child custody.  If one of the spouses decides to move and take the children with him/her, the other spouse may obtain a preliminary injunction to prevent his/her spouse from relocating.  The spouse could only relocate after a ruling has been made regarding the divorce and the custody of the children. 

Before a person can obtain a preliminary injunction, he/she must be able to prove that he/she will suffer harm or damage if the injunction is not granted and that the injunction will balance hardships that he/she may incur.  This can be very difficult for people to do, especially if they are not familiar with the family laws of their state.  Therefore, anytime a spouse wishes to stop certain acts, he/she will need to work with an experienced lawyer who has successfully requested prior preliminary injunctions, like the lawyers at Gillespie, Shields & Associates.
