Does a judge have to sign temporary orders

John Michael Frick
Answered by attorney John Michael Frick (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at Reid Dennis Frick, PC
In order to enforce a court order by contempt of court, the order typically must be signed and the party against whom the order is being enforced must have actual notice of its contents.In divorce cases, the written temporary order memorializing the associate judge's rulings at the temporary order hearing is typically prepared by the petitioner/movant's attorney and circulated to the respondent's attorney to be approved as to form or to make any objections within a couple of days after the temporary order hearing. If there are no objections to the form of the order, it is typically signed by the judge within a week of the hearing.  A temporary visitation order can also be enforced by means other than contempt of court, for example by giving make-up visitation time to the parent deprived of a scheduled visit.Sometimes, for strategic reasons, it is unwise to ask the court to strictly enforce a court order against the other party because the violation itself might be evidence of something you want to show the court about the other party that may enhance your case or weaken their case.

Who owns the house

Renea Overstreet
Answered by attorney Renea Overstreet
Divorce lawyer at The Overstreet Law Firm
The property and the children are two different matters. The divorce decree governs on both issues, but you will notice that the house is in one seciton fo the decree and the children are in a totally different section. If you got the house in the decree, the house is yours. A later agreement about the house is not enforceable. He would need to file some type of modification to change the propery division concerning the house. As to your possession and access to the children, that should be enforced through a suit to enforce access and possession. It's a totally separate issue than the house. If your ex-husband has engaged in parental alienation, that should be addressed with the Court as well.

Can I get alimony and sole custody of our children if I divorce my husband?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jessica M Cotter (Unclaimed Profile)
Divorce lawyer at The Law Firm of Jessica M. Cotter, P.L.L.C.
In Arizona you do not need a reason to get a divorce, other than that your marriage is irretrievably broken, with no prospect of reconciliation. The court will not give Spousal Maintenance (alimony) unless you meet the elements set forth in A.R.S.25-319. The Court looks at the best interest of the children when deciding who has the final legal decision making authority ( Sole custody). The court does not consider cheating when deciding on these two issues. I recommend contacting an experienced family law attorney regarding the divorce process.
