What is a temporary order?

A temporary order is a type of Court Order issued by a judge that is only valid during a certain period of time. In New York State, this type of order is typically issued in connection with divorce proceedings. It is intended to serve as a stopgap measure, protecting the spouses while the divorce process is ongoing. A temporary order is usually issued to protect one of the spouses or the children, or both, from further harm or disruption while the divorce is underway. The order can include arrangements for child support, spousal support, and custody issues. It may also include provisions for residential arrangements, access to shared resources, and financial matters. In addition, a temporary order can be used to prevent a spouse from unwisely disposing of assets or resources during the divorce proceedings. The temporary order can specify that no assets are to be transferred or disposed of until the divorce is finalized. Temporary orders are put in place quickly and without much notice. They are usually subject to modification or termination after a hearing involving both parties. It is important to consult an attorney before agreeing to any temporary order, as it can significantly affect the outcome of the divorce.
