What Are Temporary Orders?
March 11th, 2010You’ve filed a complaint with the court, and now you’re waiting to settle or go to trial, but you and your soon–to-be former spouse can’t agree on anything in the meantime. Unfortunately, for many couples, this is the case. Who gets to stay in the house? Who pays for what? Should someone be paying child support or alimony? During the negotiating process, all of these issues and others can be handled through Temporary Orders.
Unlike a Final Judgment, Temporary Orders are exactly what they sound like: orders of the court that are meant to temporarily outline each person’s rights and obligations until your case has been resolved. From the time you initially file a complaint until the court finally enters a final judgment, Temporary Orders may be put in place. These orders may also be modified or replaced over the course of the case, based on changes that occur during this time.
