Temporary Order in the United States

In Divorce

This is also sometimes called an Interim Order. It is a court order that is not permanent. It will last only until a hearing, or a final order is issued, or until some other specified event occurs. An example of a temporary order is a temporary custody order, which will specify which parent has custody of the children pending a final custody determination. A temporary support order is an order that provides for one of the parties to a divorce to pay support to the other party either for that party or for the children or both. A temporary restraining order might be issued to prevent one of the parties to a divorce from disposing of property. The key thing with any temporary order or interim order is that the order is not permanent.
