What Are Temporary Orders in Divorce?

When divorce is underway, the process can take months or even longer before everything is finalized. But what happens in the meantime? That’s where temporary orders come in.

In this episode, Greer Howard and Bobby Buchanan break down the most common types of temporary motions, including child support and spousal maintenance. 

They discuss:
