Orange County Request For Order Lawyers Protecting Clients While They Await The Finalization Of Their Divorce

In the state of California, a divorce can take months to finalize. Since many couples have already established separate living arrangements while waiting for the final divorce decree, what can they do while they wait? How will they divide parenting time? Can spousal support be received? This is where a temporary order or Request for Order (RFO) can help.

At Sarieh Family Law, we have helped countless clients file and obtain the necessary orders they need during the divorce process, and have received many questions in the past. Here are some of the most common questions we have been asked:

  • What is a request for the order?
  • How to file a request for an order?
  • What kinds of orders can be modified or established with a request for the order?

Worth Knowing

A Request for Order is a request submitted to the court by a party to establish or change orders relating to child and spousal support, child custody and visitation, or other related issues, such as requesting that one party pay the other’s attorney’s fees in the divorce or custody dispute.

If the Request for Order (RFO) is to establish or modify child custody or visitation, the court usually sends the parties to mediation before the RFO is heard by the court. Some courts will schedule the date of mediation, while in other courts, you will have to call in and obtain an appointment with the conciliation court. 

With a vigorous Orange County divorce attorney on your side, you can have confidence in knowing that we are no strangers to divorce and family mediation and can represent you effectively in this process, as well as courtroom appearances and other necessary steps.
