Texas Temporary Orders
Sugar Land temporary order attorney Richard T. Bell has nearly 15 years of experience handling temporary orders. Some of these include:
- Unnecessary spending: If you are concerned that your spouse may run up credit card debt, take out loans or give away property, a temporary order may be issued to prevent it.
- Parental relocation : When it seems likely that one spouse will try to take the children and move to another county or state, a temporary order can ensure that both parents have access to the child.
- Alimony/Spousal maintenance : When one spouse is unemployed or earns much less than the other, a temporary order for spousal support can help the less well-off spouse meet his or needs.
- Child custody and visitation: Finalizing a divorce can take months or even years. In the meantime, it is necessary to decide which parent gets custody and what the visitation schedule will be. Temporary child custody orders are therefore quite common.
The Importance of Temporary Orders
Texas is a community property state, which means that assets are divided relatively equally at divorce, but so are joint debts. This is why temporary orders that stop a spouse from accumulating debt while the divorce is pending are so important. They help protect your financial future.
Temporary orders on child custody are essential to help both parents maintain a relationship with the children while the divorce proceeding is ongoing. Our Sugar Land temporary order attorney can present your case to the court and show the judge why you need a temporary order.
