A divorce can seem confusing at many points of the process. During an extensive divorce, you may hear your attorney talk about obtaining temporary or interim orders. Temporary orders are vital during the divorce process because they lay the ground rules while a divorce is pending.
Since divorces often take more than a year, judges may issue temporary orders to temporarily settle custodial and financial arrangements. Temporary orders may handle issues of child custody, spousal support, and responsibility for bills.
Judges don't usually make temporary orders until a financial affidavit has been filed by both parties. The goal of temporary orders is to cause as little change as possible in the lifestyles of the parties involved until the divorce is settled.
