Temporary Orders

In a divorce or other family law case, the parties often want a temporary court order prior to trial. When there are no court orders yet in place, problems tend to surface quickly. These “Temporary Orders” govern the parties’ actions while the case is pending. Temporary Orders may address parenting time, child support, spousal support, access to personal items, and many other aspects of the family law case.

To request temporary orders, a Motion for Temporary Orders is filed with the court. The court may schedule a 15-minute return hearing. At a return hearing, the court is advised of the issues requiring Temporary Orders. An evidentiary hearing is then scheduled to allow the parties to produce evidence and witnesses in support of their respective positions. The other possibility is that a Resolution Management Conference will be set.
