Temporary Support in Divorce: Ensuring Structure and Stability
Hello. My name is Dylan Savage of Wirth Law Office, and I practice out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Today we are going to discuss whether or not you can get temporary orders and temporary child support while your case is ongoing.
Simply put, the answer is yes. In most cases, you are going to have temporary orders and temporary child support. Cases have a tendency to go for an extended period, and if children are involved in a divorce, you’re looking at a minimum of 90 days, and that is in the best-case scenario.
The Need for Structure in Custody and Support
That is just your waiting period. So the court and DHS, if they’re involved, and everyone else, your attorney included, are going to want some type of structure for custody and child support. That way, the parties can work back and forth, and the children can see both parents. It really comes down to structure for the parties and the children.
In regards to child support, there’s going to be a need for some type of financial stability for them as well, because most of the time, the parties are not financially equal. That is the point of child support, to kind of prop up the other parent so the children can enjoy a decent quality of life with both parents.
Key Takeaways on Temporary Support
So to summarize, yes, you are most likely, in almost every case, going to have a temporary child support computation, and you’re going to have temporary orders. If you found this video helpful, or believe it could help someone else, please direct them or yourself to theoklahomaattorney.com.
