### Temporary Orders for Custody and Support

The hearing for temporary orders is typically held within one to three weeks after divorce papers are filed. At the hearing, the judge may issues orders to establish:

- Possession of the marital home, vehicles and other assets
- Where your kids will live and a visitation schedule
- Temporary child support
- Temporary spousal support, if applicable
- Responsibility for paying bills
- Other relevant matters while your divorce is pending

The court usually follows the status quo in determining temporary custody (whichever parent has been the primary caregiver). Our role is to ensure that the judge considers your input regarding interim parenting schedules, duties and decision making. We also make sure that the court has accurate information regarding incomes and expenses, and you have access to accounts and important documents in these early stages, especially if you believe the spouse is hiding assets or manipulating information.
