Can one stop a spouse from using or selling marital property while the divorce is pending?
Relief during the divorce process. Until the final divorce decree, the Court lacks the authority to distribute property. Although the Court may award temporary spousal and child support, as well as exclusive use of the marital home, the Court may only order an injunction denying each party the right to dispose of property until a final divorce hearing. Asset inventory is important to protect your rights with regard to property.
