What happens with regard to spousal/child support/custody while the case is pending?
Once a petition for divorce is filed, the parties usually try to come to an agreement on temporary child & spousal support, custody, visitation, use of vehicles and home, and other issues which need to be resolved immediately. Any agreement on temporary support payments should take into consideration that such temporary payments may set a precedent for permanent support payments. If the parties do not come to an agreement, either party may file an action to resolve these temporary issues and a hearing will be heard in front of the judge who make decisions on these issues.
