• Temporary Orders Before a final Decree of Dissolution or Paternity is put into place by the Court, you may ask the Court for help in deciding how important issues will  be handled in the mean time while your case is pending. Kimberly can advocate for you at the Temporary Order stage for things such as temporary custody and physical time sharing, temporary child support, temporary alimony, temporary division of debt payment and temporary possession of assets, such as the marital residence.
