Bellevue Divorce Lawyers Can Get You Temporary Relief

The day of separation for a divorcing couple can be a precarious time. Especially if one spouse generally handles the financial matters, the other spouse may be afraid that he or she will not have enough resources to make it on their own. In such cases, Bellevue divorce lawyers use what is called a motion for temporary orders in order to insure that a spouse without control of finances can live separately from the other spouse.

When Bellevue divorce lawyers bring temporary orders motions, they seek to resolve all the major issues in the divorce on a temporary basis. So, a parenting plan and child support order will be put in place that are in the children's best interests and will provide adequate support for the child's daily needs. Bellevue divorce lawyers provide the court with evidence of how much income the parties have, what their expenses are, and what safeguards the court may need to take to protect either parties' interests, including domestic violence restraining orders, if it comes to that. The court will enter orders which meet the parties' and children's needs during the time after separation but before the divorce is finalized. Bellevue divorce lawyers make their arguments in written form for the judge (usually a commissioner) to read beforehand, then they make oral arguments on their client's behalf on the day of the hearing.
