Temporary Orders can be ordered after a Temporary Orders Hearing (TOH), or after a stipulated agreement between the parties. The idea behind temporary orders is to govern the parties while the case is pending. The issues are routinely decision-making, parenting time, child support, maintenance, payment of debts, access to personal items, and exclusive use of the marital residence. Ms. Scurlock will ensure that you are thoroughly prepared for the TOH.
If the parties are unable to reach agreements on all, or part of the issues in their case, even after attending mediation, the Court will schedule the case for a Permanent Orders Hearing (POH). This hearing is the same as what people commonly refer to as a “trial,” and after all the evidence in the form of exhibits and witnesses is presented by both sides at the POH, the court will issue controlling Orders. Ms. Scurlock will ensure that you are thoroughly prepared for the POH.
