Contact the APFFEL LAW FIRM today to schedule a free initial consultation regarding temporary agreements that will allow for a reasonable and orderly transition from a "married" to a "divorced" lifestyle. One spouse or the other may need to sell property -- or to prevent the other spouse from selling property. Money earned from the selling of property may need to be put into an escrow account until the divorce is finalized to ensure an equitable property distribution. Child custody, visitation, child support, and spousal support orders often need to be spelled out for the time period until a divorce decree becomes final. Temporary orders are designed to maintain the status quo during the pendency of the divorce action.
