Often in a divorce immediate relief is necessary. This relief may
include requests for restraining orders, temporary support, control of assets,
custody and visitation orders, the right to exclusive possession of a home,
and/or attorney’s fees. In such cases, your can file a motion for temporary orders concurrently with the initial petition or the
response. Most hearings for temporary orders are set within 30 days from when the motion is filed.
The need for support is one of the most common reasons for
a temporary hearing. Utah requires that
an Affidavit of Financial Declaration be submitted with the motion for
temporary order for support. This will
require gathering financial information and supporting documents regarding your
assets, monthly expenditures and monthly income. A form child support worksheet
that will also be submitted to the court, if child support is being
sought. At the temporary support hearing, each spouse presents evidence of his or her needs, obligations, and
expenses. The court will then make recommendations for temporary orders. The orders are temporary and remain in effect
until modified by agreement, the court, or until the case is finalized.
It is thus important to prove facts about the
parties’ income at this early stage.
Therefore, you should preserve and deliver to your attorney such things as pay
stubs and tax returns so that they may have as complete a financial picture as
possible.
