Divorce cases can sometimes take a very long time, depending on how fair and negotiable your wife is in willing to work with you on issues you may disagree on, depending on how many children are involved in the divorce, depending on the property or assets that need to be divided, and other issues that can delay the final filing of the divorce.
During this time, there may need to be some rules set in terms of the order of how things will be handled, and this is when orders can be placed through the court system.
There are two kinds of orders-emergency orders and temporary orders.
An emergency order is an order that is placed immediately and needs to be followed as soon as it is entered.
This type of order is typically placed by filing a Motion for an Ex Parte Restraining Order/Order to Show Cause.
As soon as it is filed, this order takes place.
This is considered an emergency order that must be followed.
But what constitutes an emergency order? Most times, an emergency order will be filed in situations of domestic violence or if there is some accusation (true or not) of some kind of abuse, whether it be physically against the children or your wife.
Emergency Ex Parte Orders can sometimes be privileges that are abused by spiteful ex-wives looking to keep their children away from their ex-husbands, and is supposed to be used to get children out of dangerous situations or protection from certain people.
Emergency orders should be taken seriously and must be followed until the situation is able to be brought into the courtroom.
This is where the issue at hand can be further discussed and decided upon by a judge in the court system.
If you receive an Ex Parte order, follow it specifically as it states until you can bring forth extra evidence against it to the judge.
