Temporary orders are court orders entered while a case is pending, often addressing conservatorship, parenting time, child support, use of property, and other immediate household needs. These orders can set the day-to-day rules the parties follow until a final order is entered.
When should you hire a temporary order counsel?
You should hire counsel for temporary orders when you need immediate custody, support, or exclusive use of a residence, or when the other party is pushing for one-sided interim terms. Legal help is also important when temporary orders are being used to pressure a settlement or when urgent financial controls are needed.
