Interim orders, also known as temporary orders, address matters that are pressing and cannot wait for the end of a divorce to be decided. Parties can ask a court to temporarily decide on urgent matters which may include:

• Child custody and parenting time: The court always acts in the best interests of the children. While a divorce is underway, instability is a given, but a court will act quickly to establish where the children of the union should live and how much time each parent gets with their children.

• Spousal support: A former couple usually maintain separate households during divorce proceedings, which means they both have bills to pay, groceries to buy, life to live – and that costs money. State law allows the lower-earning or non-earning spouse to seek interim spousal support to maintain a standard of living while their divorce case is underway.

• Child support: A child’s needs cannot be put on hold during a Michigan divorce. The spouse who maintains primary custody can file an interim order for child custody so they can provide their child with what they need, from food to clothes to activities to schooling to medical care.

• Property and assets: An interim order can be requested to prevent either spouse from selling valuable assets, or to allow a spouse to give the other possession of the family home, car, or other significant asset.

Hearings for interim orders, once the request has been properly made, are usually scheduled quickly, sometimes within days, and a judge will issue his or her decision on the matter. The interim orders that are granted are typically valid unless another hearing is requested or until the spouses arrive at a permanent divorce settlement through negotiation.
