Divorce Delays? Secure Temporary Orders (PART THREE)

This divorce case might take some time; can we secure a temporary order for now?

In a contested proceeding, there are numerous reasons (good and bad) why a case may take awhile to get resolved. In the meantime, life continues to happen and certain things may unfold during the pendency of the case. This set of blog posts means to highlight some of the temporary orders available to the parties. You can find the first two blog posts of this series here and here.

A restraining order or temporary injunction for a divorce proceeding:

  (1)  Does not prejudice the rights of the parties or the child which are to be adjudicated at subsequent hearings in the proceedings;

  (2)  May be revoked or modified prior to final judgment on a showing by affidavit of the facts necessary to revocation or modification of a final judgment pursuant to section 452.370; and

  (3)  Terminates when the final judgment is entered or when the petition for dissolution or legal separation is voluntarily dismissed.
