What are Temporary Orders? - Lacey Richmond

BSPE Legal Marketing Podcast

From Richmond Law Firm, PLLC - This podcast provides a clear overview of "What are Temporary Orders?" and the essential role they play in Texas family law cases, particularly for those undergoing divorce or custody disputes. Temporary orders serve as interim guidelines established by the court to address immediate concerns related to property, finances, and child custody while the case is pending. These orders help stabilize complex situations by setting clear rules for all parties involved, ensuring financial obligations are met and maintaining order until a final decision is made.
We discuss common issues addressed by temporary orders, such as who will remain in the marital home, how mortgage and vehicle payments will be managed, and whether spousal support or attorney’s fees will be covered. For families with children, temporary orders may also determine the primary conservator, set a visitation schedule, establish temporary child support, and allocate health and dental insurance responsibilities. These measures are crucial to protect the well-being of children and prevent conflicts around financial obligations.
The podcast also explores scenarios in which temporary orders are particularly beneficial, such as securing access to property, establishing temporary custody arrangements, and initiating child support when a case may take months to resolve. By addressing these urgent issues, temporary orders provide a means to prevent immediate harm, ensure asset protection, and support child welfare, safeguarding families from potential long-term complications that may arise during a contested legal process.
Listeners will learn about the process for obtaining temporary orders, from filing a Motion for Temporary Orders to attending a temporary order hearing. The episode explains how these orders can be modified if parents reach a new custody agreement or resolve terms through mediation. For individuals in Galveston County, Richmond Law Firm, PLLC offers guidance to help families secure temporary orders that align with their unique needs and priorities.
