Temporary Order For Divorce
Temporary Order for Divorce addresses child custody and support, property issues, and temporary spousal support. When partners agree on these issues then the process works much better. If they cannot agree then the judge will have to make a ruling. The person who gets custody of the children is probably going to be the primary caregiver. This is the spouse who normally takes care of the needs of the children. The spouse who does not get custody will be ordered to pay temporary support and have a visitation schedule. The court will also determine who will be responsible for health insurance for the kids. Property issues are usually determined when there is a temporary order for divorce. Normally the custodial parent is the one who is allowed to stay in the home. Another issue with property is about making the mortgage payments and paying utility bills. "I have showed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive" (Acts 20:35).
A petition will have to be filed in order to get a temporary order for divorce. When a spouse files a petition then the spouse will need to be served papers. Hiring an attorney is the best way to handle petitions to the court. The spouse receiving the papers will want to file a response to the petition. If parties agree everything will go smoothly. If they do not then there will need to be a court hearing where the judge determines all the issues associated with the petition. When it comes to the kids, the judge will probably base his or her decision on what is best for them. They need to be kept in the same schools and live in the same home so their lives are not disrupted too much. Hearings can be set periodically before the court date so that the parties can negotiate differences. When a petition is unresolved court cost may be more expensive and so will attorney's fees.
If a spouse chooses to move out and the spouse who is still in the home cannot pay the bills and take care of the children's needs then he or she will want to file a temporary order for divorce. If necessary the spouse who is taking care of the kids can get a restraining order on the spouse who left, can establish custody of the children, and get spousal support as well. This may include who gets the family car and possession of the family home. An attorney can try to get the process decided quickly especially when the kids are in need.
There will be documentation needed when filing a temporary order for divorce. The judge will want to review copies of income and expenses. He may ask for a budget as well. The judge may choose to hear your case in his chambers or in the courtroom. He will need all the facts in the case. The income will help the judge to determine temporary child support. The other spouse should try to make the court date so he or she can defend self or be able to answer questions asked by the judge. The more cooperative a person is the better the outcome for all. Whatever the judge decides will be in effect until there is a petition for divorce or a temporary order ends. Couples may decide to get back together and work things out but they must file to end the temporary order when this happens.
Couples should try to find reasons to stay together. The number one reason of course is the children. They need both parents all the time. Filing a temporary order for divorce can be reversed. Think about all of the time you have invested in the relationship and cherish the memories. Remember the vows that were spoken when the two of you got married. The stress of divorce takes a toll on the parties involved and can lead to premature death. Think about all the money that it will take to pay the lawyer and the court fees. Then there will be the absent children. Now you are accustomed to having the children with you but when a divorce takes place that may not be the case.
Some partners may wonder how they can try to stay together when there has been so much hurt. God is in the business of healing relationships. He does not want divorce to happen. Start attending church services regularly. Get counseling from the church or through a marriage counselor. Take a couples retreat and spend quality time together. Pray together and read God's word daily. Try to find reasons to stay together and never mention divorce or filing a temporary order for divorce. The more a person talks about leaving and getting a divorce the higher the chances it will happen. Instead, speak healing to your marriage. Find reasons to be thankful for the partner you have.
There are times when a person is affected negatively because of their physical or mental health. Making major decisions during this time is a bad idea. Perhaps there has been so much stress around the finances that a couple thinks their lives might be easier apart. Unfortunately, there may be infidelity and betrayal involved in a decision to get a temporary order for divorce. This is a hard problem to work through. The spouse who has been hurt has lost all respect and trust in the marriage. A person becomes numb and often feels like there is no way that the relationship can be saved. Do not make rash decisions. If the spouse who has cheated is sorry and vows to never break the covenant relationship again then choose to forgive and ask God to heal the hurt within your heart. He can surely do this and much more. He can perform a miracle!
