Optional Forms to file for a Temporary Order

During the waiting period either party can ask the Commissioner to make temporary orders to control how things happen until the final divorce hearing. Temporary orders usually deal with child custody, child placement, child support, spousal maintenance, use of the marital residence, use of personal property and payment of debts. No division of property is made at the temporary hearing; only the issue of use is decided.
