Q. Should i get the Temporary custody order before my spouse did? Is child support needed during this time to gain more adv

March 28, 2023

A: It sounds like you may need to seek a Temporary Family Violence Restraining Order (TPO). This would allow you to obtain a restraining order from your husband, temporary custody of your child and be awarded temporary support, which would include child support. The other option would be to go ahead and file for divorce, so that you could seek a temporary order granting you primary custody and financial support. I would strongly recommend going to see an attorney to see what options would make the most sense for you given your specific circumstances.
