we would be glad to speak with you @ (253) 512-1140. |
| Q: Because it can take time to complete a divorce, can I protect myself, my children, and my property from my spouse right now? |
| |
|
| A: 1. |
Yes. You can obtain court orders which protect your interests when you file for divorce. |
| |
|
| 2. |
You may request orders which prevent your spouse from contacting you or your children, award you sole use of the family home, your car, and other property. Require your spouse to continue paying the bills, and prohibit your spouse from spending your money and selling your assets. |
| 3. |
If you have children, you may also request temporary orders which give you custody of your children and require that your spouse pay you child support. You may also request the court to require your spouse pay you alimony. |
| |
|
Note: If you or your children are the victim of domestic violence at the hands of
your spouse, you need not wait to file for divorce to be protected from your
spouse. You can immediately obtain a temporary protection order which will
prevent your spouse having contact with you, your children, and the family home.
