Temporary Orders in Texas Divorce, Custody and Family Law Cases

Shortly following a petition for dissolution of marriage or in a suit affecting the parent-child relationshp in Texas, the court holds a Temporary Orders hearing to generally determine who will live where and who will pay for what during the period the divorce case preceeds and until it is final. 

In Dallas, Collin and Denton Counties in Texas, each have their own rules regarding Temporary Orders hearings and how much time the parties have to present their arguments before the judge makes a ruling and issues the Temporary Orders, which the parties must follow or risk being held in contempt of court.
