Understanding Temporary Order Hearings

Hi, I’m Oklahoma fathers’ rights attorney Clint Hastings. I’m a lawyer here in Tulsa County and I practice family law with a focus on father’s rights. Today I want to talk to you about temporary order hearings. These hearings are where the judge will decide early in your case what orders need to govern the parties, children, debts, housing, and cars while the divorce is pending.

Essentially, temporary orders are put in place to provide structure and guidelines for both parties during the divorce process. This can include custody arrangements, visitation schedules, and financial responsibilities. It’s important to have these orders in place to avoid confusion and conflict as the case progresses.

Importance of Setting the Tone Early On

While nobody wants their divorce to drag on for years, it’s not uncommon for legal proceedings to take time. By having temporary orders in place early on, you can ensure that important decisions are made and that both parties are clear on their rights and responsibilities. This can help streamline the process and avoid unnecessary delays.

Remember, temporary orders are not set in stone and can be modified under certain circumstances. However, having a solid foundation early on can help set the tone for the rest of the case. At the end of your divorce, the temporary orders will no longer be in effect, and your final decree will govern moving forward.
